but hes not as young as he was when i first got him hes growing up
Each dog is different. I have some that are fed twice a day and others 3 times a day. But, you have to remember these are toy dogs and have small stomachs.....

Second of all whenever a dog is in a new environment they will not eat sometimes for 24 or 48 hours.......Tell your sister-in-law to butt out.

But, each meal is 1/8 of cup of kibbles, along with steamed chicken.....others have wet food added and others have a bit of cheese....
