How much food should I give my dog a day?

If you're still at a loss, try PetMD's general rule of thumb for adult dogs: Toy Breeds (3-6 pounds): 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup per day. Small Breeds (10-20 pounds): 3/4 cup to 1 1/2 cups per day. Medium Breeds (30-50 pounds) 1 3/4 to 2 2/3 cups per day.

Is it cruel to feed a dog once a day?

It is not generally cruel to feed a healthy adult dog once a day occasionally but that meal should be appropriately sized and balanced. Additionally, it's essential to spot any issues with that feeding schedule early on since many dogs don't do well with once-a-day feeding.

How often and how much should I feed my dog?

The number of meals a dog eats per day depends completely on the family schedule. Dogs should eat at least two meals each day, about 12 hours apart. But a breakfast, lunch, and dinner schedule is an equally great option. If more than 12 hours elapses between meals, the stomach can become hyperacidic causing nausea.
