Hey everyone,
Question about how many times a day to feed your chi? Right now Rocky is 12 weeks old. He went to the vet the other day and gained about a lb in 2 weeks. I am currently feeding him about 4 times a day about a 1/4 cup per meal. How old should he be before I start feeding him only 3 times a day and then 2xs per day?
Also is he too young to go with out food and water during the night? He is still waking up 2xs during the night to go out. How old until he will be able to only go out 1x or even sleep thru the night?
Thanks in advance!

He can probably go 3x a day right now and then by 16 weeks go 2x a day. He is not too young to go without food or water during the night. He is probably going often during the night because he is being fed more often. Once he is on a regular 2x a day feeding schedule, he will probably urinate and defecate less often.

Well I started to limit water after 9:30 and now he only gets up one time during the night!! Also I am feeding him 3xs a day and he seems to be doing well. Even started to go on small walks with me too! We will see how much he has grown on June 14th at the Vet!
