Toby is absolutely adorable! You have a great question. He should still be eating three times a day at this age, once morning, noon, and evening. When he turns six months old, he can be fed twice a day (morning and evening). As for how much at each meal, take the daily recommended allotment on his bag of food, and divide it into three equal portions to feed throughout the day. Once he reaches six months of age, divide it into two equal portions. I hope this helps :-)

    Oh my goodness, Sergi is so cute! Each bag of food has a different daily requirement, so read his bag of puppy food's instructions to get that amount. Divide it into three equal portions to feed him morning, noon, and evening. Once he is six months old, you can feed him twice a day, morning and evening. I hope this helps!
