Hi Noor. It’s a good point regarding bilious vomiting syndrome – for these dogs you will need to split the meals as much as necessary to prevent vomiting on an empty stomach. This just means that each meal can look ridiculously small, but that’s what you have to do.
As for the size of meals, read my article on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.walkervillevet.com.au/blog/myth-24-you-feed-a-dog-by-following-the-instructions/&quot;&gt;how much should a dog be fed&lt;/a&gt;. However, in a nutshell it’s basically that you have to work it out by trial and error, and that food packets overestimate the amount sometimes by as much as three times what is actually needed.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Andrew
My Maltese Shih Tsu is overweight at 10.6kgs.
I have tried feeding him once a day but he vomits up a greenish substance when he has been without food for more than 12 hours... I am guessing it&#039;s bile? It doesnt happen if I give him two meals per day. 
How much should he weigh and how much food should I be giving him? 
The  feeding instructions on the can and packet of dry biscuits are very broad and I would like to know if I am giving him the correct amount each day. 
I also have a Cavoodle who is overweight at 15.5kgs so would appreciate knowing how many grams per day food he should be having too. 
Thankyou.]]></description>

Hi Kathy. Once a day feeding is fine for most dogs over 5 kg body weight but the amount always depends on what it takes to achieve the right goal, be it gradual weight loss or maintenance of a healthy weight.]]></description>
