Hey all! For those of you with small breed puppies, what time are you feeding them?
I have a 4 month old Shih Tzu/small poodle/Chihuahua puppy. He's about 6lbs. Previous owners were only feeding him twice a day due to their jobs (also the reason they gave him to me). I've been feeding him 3 times a day at 7:30 am, 1:30pm and 7/7:30 pm. Is 12 hours too long between his last and first meal of the day? I keep reading stuff online that the last evening meal should be around 5pm but also that small dogs can become hypoglycemic very easily so I'm not sure how I could feed him dinner meal earlier without risking hypoglycemia.
He goes to sleep around 8:30/9pm and it's impossible to keep him up later than 9pm. He wakes up around 5:30/6am but tends to cuddle with whoever in the family gets to him first with zero attempt for food and I haven't noticed signs of hypoglycemia.
