Lucius should be fed twice a day, breakfast and dinner. Feed him only dog food, do not give him any human food, and only give him treats at most once or twice a week. Feed him according to the package instructions on his food, and divide the daily allotment into two equal meals. Make sure to take him out to exercise twice a day for at least 30 minutes at a time.
