Hi I own a 9 week old maltipoo and I'm not 100% sure how much I should be feeding him. I feed him around 1.5 large table spoon three times a day of royal canine mini starter. And was wondering how much u should feed him

According to the feeding directions on the back of the bag, it should be about 1/2 cup, so the amount you are feeding should be adequate. And, great you are feeding three times a day. It's actually time to consider transitioning Snowball to a puppy food as the RC Mini Starter is meant for pups less than 8 weeks old. It's good nutrition, but may be too much now. I hope this helps.
