Can you leave his food out for him? That would probably be ideal at this point. If that won't work out, start feeding him every four or five hours. Say 7am, 12pm, 4pm and 8pm, just an example. With him being so young and the stress of "moving out," it's important that he gets bits of food all day to prevent any hypoglycemia. In the meantime, it's a perfect time to start researching dog food! When he's had time to settle and is ready to change, you'll be all up to speed and will know which direction you want to go with the food. Good luck!

Thanks! I will definitely change his schedule tomorrow. I was beginning to notice that he was so hungry at dinner time from not eating since morning. How much should I be giving him each time?
