Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Feeding twice daily is fine as long as Caster is receiving his recommend amount of calories per day. I recommend the majority of his diet consists of the Royal Canin as that has the proper balance of vitamins and minerals for a growing dog and the human diet does not. The Royal Canin should have a place on the label for recommended feeding amounts for his age and weight. Kisses to Caster!
