Scottie weighs 5 lbs and he eats 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Orijen dry kibble a day, which is pretty much as recommended by the food bag packaging.
I think as Yorkiemom1 pointed out, it's more important how the dogs look. Are they skinny (the ribs and the back bone really prominent)? Can you feel a healthy layer of fat/meat between the skin and the bones? Can you feel the ribs at all? See the attached as a guideline.
I believe the amount of food is also based on how active your dog is (how much energy does he burn off).
