| 6 lbs is exaclty what Pepper weighs. I voted 2 times 1/4 cup because I leave the food out for him once a day, between 1/3-1/2 mixed with a little canned. He digs the canned out right away and usually by the night will finish (or close) the leftover dry kibble. When he does finish and seems hungry, I'll give him a few more kibble pieces. He gets treats throughout the day though. He is hungrier on some days, just like us people lol

| I feed mine 1 time a day. Usually they eat a little and then finish it off later.

| Zoey is 6 lbs and gets 1/4 cup dry food in the morning mixed with a teaspoon of canned food or cottage cheese, and another 1/4 dry food in evening with a teaspoon of canned food. She gets one or two doggie biscuits for snacks. She seems content with this amount. |

| I feed my girls based on the recommendation on the food bag. And I give them 1/2 of that in the morning and 1/2 for dinner.

| I would check the bag for feeding recommendations. How much you feed really depends on how many calories are in the food. Maybe you could start another poll and ask how many calories your baby should eat per day. |

| Ellie gets 1/4 cup of homecooked food three times a day. She also gets treats and some bigger snacks. She weighs 5.5 pounds and is very skinny so she needs the extra food.
