It really depends on why you're given them. If Bella is on a well balanced quality dog food AND an ideal weight, she should be getting about 700 calories a day and no more than 10% (70 calories) should be coming from treats. So the cup amount would depend on the food (70 calories = 3/4 cup blueberries or pumpkin puree, or a little over a cup of cubed apples). On the other hand, if you're not giving her mostly dog food, I'd recommend using this website to build a balanced diet and order a supplement. https://secure.balanceit.com/recipegenerator_ver4/index.php?rotator=EZ
