Donating YT 500 Club Member | How much should she be eating? So I currently have Taycie on Blue Buffalo and she eats about 1/4 cup in the morning and again in the evening. Currently right now she weighs 4 pounds 11 ounces. Is 1/2 cup to much in one day? I know she is growing and puppys eat more... The back of the bag confuses me as far as the measuring goes and I just want to make sure she is getting enough or too much?...She will be 6 months old next week on the 15. Any suggestions? |

| I feed mine 1/4 cup twice daily too. I've discussed this with my Vet bc Willow is way too fat but the Vet didn't want me to feed any less. Plus the back of the bags say this amount for the size of mine. Chloe is 5.5 lbs and 2 yrs, Willow is 5. lbs and 21 mos. I should point out that Willow is supposed to be no more than 3 lbs for her over-all size. I laugh and say she should be a teacup but is instead a teapot! And yes, yes before anyone thinks ill of me, I know there is no such thing. It's just a joke.

| Jackson is a healthy, athletic 15lbs and eats 1/2 cup total per day of Acana kibble. Plus some wet mixed in. For a puppy, you are probably okay on the amounts since they need more food oftentimes. When she is 1 year old, maybe lessen the amount then.
