YAY!!!I am so thrilled to hear that!!! Keep me posted, I'll be checking in to see how Beau is eating tomorrow, and I am SO GLAD you tried it!

In answer to your question, on the side of the package it says a 2.5 inch thick slice per day for dogs under 10 pounds, so I would give Beau no more than a 1 inch thick slice 2 times a day. Because our dogs are so small, it is preferrable to feed them 2 to 3 times per day so they don't suffer from low blood sugar. I usually feed mine the rolled food once when I get up and again around 5 (at dinner time) adding a couple treats or small bones here and there in the middle of the day and later in the evening.

Just for fun, try these treats... feed your dog between 5 and 10/day...Stormy loves them as training treats...I think you can get them at Petco too:
