Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have the same problem one of mine is always hungry even wakes me up at night and she is 3 1/2 years old! She is a little overweight so I now she is getting more than enough food but she is always starving. Maybe ask your vet if you should give the 7 month old one more food, as I am not sure what is recommended.

| I free feed mine as he is a nibbler. I think I would offer at least 1/4 c. in the morning and the same in the evening. If this does not appear to be enough, maybe give some at noon also or before bedtime. Mine usually eats some right before bed. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I'd feed him more if you think he's too skinny. Give him 3/4 of a cup and see how he does. The guidelines on the back of the bag are just that. I have a 4.5lb, 3 year old and she eats 3/4 cup a day.
