How much food do you feed a 1 year old bishon freise?

Question

i have a 1 year old bishon and i am not to sure how much to feed him or how many times a day . i don't want him to get fat bye feeding him to much.

Answer 1

I Have a Bishon Freise also I feed him one aday a large glass of food with lamb rice from Sams Club it good for them hope this will help you.

Answer 2

I would give him no more than 1/2 cup of food once in the AM and once in the PM.  If you like to give a lot of treats, then I would do 1/3 cup in the AM and 1/3 in the PM.  If he is very active, then I would adjust the amount according to what he needs.  I have a Beagle mix, and if he had his way, he'd eat until he gorged himself.  As a rule of thumb though, I'd stick with the 1/2 cup each meal rule.

Answer 3

i would ask your vet. it depends on your dogs excersice needs and how many calories he burns a day. your vet can give you the right answer :)

Answer 4

Just read the bag...the dog food bag usually tells how much to feed a dog by the weight of it, and I'm pretty sure a Bichon Freise would be toward the lighter amounts.

Answer 5

You can feed him twice a day if you want to.      Try feed him a cup of food split in half.      If he cleans  this up at both feedings  you might try feeding  him a little more.   Are  you going to be showing the dog in obedience and or Agility.     Then you need to watch the dogs.     The dog food bags say to feed your dogs more than they need.

Answer 6

I would follow the directions on the package of dog food you feed.

I recommend feeding twice a day, morning and evening.

So if the bag says feed 2 cups of food a day.

Feed 1 cup in the morning, and 1 cup in the evening.
