Generally, I only feed once a day. It's just what has worked for us. Jackson rarely seems hungry in the mornings but he does have kibble out for him 24/7 so it's available if he truly wants some.... but his actual "dinner" comes around 6pm which is kibble and wet food mixed (or whatever leftovers are in our fridge, chicken, steak, etc).
The only time he gets breakfast is the pre-made raw food. I get Stella & Chewy's and about 3x a week, he gets a patty or two for breakfast. He eats that up like a champ! He's still never interested in the early morning though... the earliest he will eat is usually 10am. If he gets a lot of activity during the day (sometimes we'll go on a 2 hour walk around 11:30am) sometimes I'll give him half of his dinner early, and then the other half around 7pm.
Sorry for the long post, haha. I kind of mix it up I guess and base it off of his activity level for the day, if he seems hungry, or whatever.
Oh, and treats. Yeah, he gets sort of a lot of treats. I've been using "Canz Real Meat" treats (you can get on amazon) they are really soft and small and easy to break into tiny pieces though so maybe he doesn't get all THAT much... I also buy those cheese sticks from the grocery store to use occasionally since he goes crazy for those or I use real chicken. He is 16lbs and gets 1/2 cup of kibble with a tablespoon or so of wet food.
