That seem like a lot of food...but, I checked the Eukanuba web site, and it says to give your baby 1 1/4 cup of food...this seems like more than other brands call for...my 15lb. adult (Shorkie) eats 1 1/2 cups a day, 3/4 cup at 7am and 3/4 at 7pm...She is on Nutro Natural Choice Lamb & Rice Small Bites...I would never feed just once a day...
