Thank you for submitting your question regarding Hiro. What a cutie! First, make sure that you are feeding him puppy food. Then I would start with what your dog food recommends for his weight. Each food varies in the amount of calories per cup so the feeding amounts will vary. He will roughly need about 1/4-1/2 cup per day. Because he is so small, it is important to have food available to him at all times. Very small puppies can have difficulty regulating their blood sugar levels. Their blood sugar can drop too low if they go too long without food. I hope this information helps!
