When I picked up Riley he was 8 weeks and you could see his ribs and hips. The vet said he was to skinny and to feed him 4 to 5 times a day. He is now 16 weeks and 37 pounds. He is eating about 2 to 3 times a day now. I don't use a feeding schedule. They get breakfast and kibble is left out all day. We put a cup of kibble in the bowl when he empties it. He probably eats about 4 to 5 cups a day plus he gets some Natural Balance loaf in his breakfast and as training treats.
