How much food and how many times a day do you feed a small dog?

Usually 1-3 times a day, and read the dog food label for how much to feed.

I would feed twice a day (for an adult, three times for a puppy) and then divide the amount on the back of your bag of dog food to determine how much to feed (it is based on weight), but I would guess 1/4 to 1/2 of a cup per feeding. If you don't have the bag that the food came in, you can look online, just go to the brand's website.

Depends on the size dog. Puppies need fed 3 times a day, then at 4-6 months twice a day. Or you can leave a dish of dry food down all day and free feed. Thats what I do.

That depends on the dogs age, weight, breed, and activity level. Most vets say to follow the feeding instructions on the dog food bag - and if the dog is over a year old 2 feedings a day is ok, under a year 3 times a day. If all else fails - call your vet! :)

about 1/2 a cup or 1 cup i suggest you read the food label on the dog food cuz it varys on the weight of the dog probably 2 to 3 times a day

If they are under 10lbs then- you should put out 1/2 cup food dry or wet 2 times a day - if they are a pup then do this 3-4 times until they are 6 months old- usually their appettites are all different and u will become used to his/her's

I free feed. It has worked out well for both my cat and puppy. I just make sure their bowlis filled and they help themselves when they are hungry. The package of food should tell you how much is enough.

well if you have them on dry food then we have always just left the food down in the bowls and let them eat when they are hungry.like our vet said if they are hungry they will eat and if not it's there if they get hungry.
