Good question. Because Cherie is now an adult dog he only needs to be fed twice a day, once in the morning and once at night for a total of around 3/4-1 cup daily. There is no specific time that you have to feed your dog, as this depends entirely upon your schedule. I hope this helps and good luck with Chewie and his new feeding routine.
