| I don't think that would be too much. I just let charlie free feed. i used to measure it, but i didn't want him to get hungry. Sorry, i couldn't help more.

| What does Lexi weigh and what are you feeding her? The amounts you're giving don't sound out of line with what I give Jo and Riley, who are 4 months and 9 1/2 months, but I also leave dry food and fresh water down at all times. Some foods have lots of fillers that will make them potty more throughout the day. When I switched Jo to Innova he went from going several times a day to 2 times a day because it was a better food than he was getting previously and it didn't have all the fillers. |

| It sounds like she's almost Jo's size...he's about 3 1/2 pounds. I'm not familiar with that brand of food. Have you looked at any of the dog food comparison charts to see how it stacks up? You'll find some good information there for comparing different brands. |
