Hi StewiesMom!

Thats what I was doing initially, just leaving dry food out for him all day and he grazed whenever he wanted too. But the vet recomended that since we're still potty training that it's easier to house break/pad train when they eat in set meals, i.e. food goes in-food comes out. And in order to get him to eat in the meal regime I mixed it with wet food.

The vet said to just follow the guide on the bag for how much, but that just doesn't seem like enough to me. I'm not sure how much he was eating when the food was out all the time, i just kept his bowl full. So yours eats about a cup a day and is 9 lbs, hmm... sounds like Kirby could have a little more.

Thanks for the input!
