Question

16 year old Shih Tzu barking all the time always hungry used to being fed every evening should I split up the meal to a.m. and p.m.? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 14 years and 11 months old | 20 lbs

Yes, I recommend feeding twice daily and he should have a good quality senior food. Often feeding some wet food will help him feel less hungry. You can also give a Kong toy filled with cheese spread or peanut butter which will keep him busy and may help to reduce the barking.
