| What are you feeding him? I feed Rosie and Mikki twice a day a mixture of can and dry food. Plus I have dry food down all the time.

| Owned by Bella & Tibbs Donating Member | I've been feeding him the science hill diet the vet gave us. He told me to use the measuring cup based on his weight and feed him once a day. But he acts like he is starving.

I also feed Science Diet and I feed twice a day. Maybe break the recommended amount in two feedings. That way he will think he is getting more. Do you only use dry?

You might ask your vet about adding a little can to the feeding as well as splitting it into two meals. I use about a tablespoon of the can with the dry. My girls love it. So a can of food lasts us numerous days.

| I would be hungry too if I was only feed once a day  . I free feed because Callies a picker and doesn't eat a lot at a time. I think I would at least feed twice a day especially if he seems hungry.

| I'm almost positive that a 16 week old puppy needs to eat more than once per day!  he's just a baby regardless of weight.
