If she eats the whole 1/2 Cup of food then you are ok. I feed Millie 2 x a day, but she only gets 1/8 Cup of food in the am and in the p.m. with training snacks in between. I don't even free feed her and she is doing fine and gaining weight. She is only 4 1/2 months old.

Everyone keeps saying how small their bladders are; it goes to reason so is their stomachs. I always tend to want to put more food in the bowl, because it looks like too little food, but Millie will only eat what she wants and walks away from the rest, so I guess she knows what she needs.

Besides, at some age, dogs should be reduced to only one meal a day, or at the least, 2 - 1/2 portions a day.

ETA: Millie is 3 lbs 4 oz.
