I also have a smaller one. Mine is a little over 3 lbs. I can't free feed him bacause of the other one being a potential porker lol. I feed him three times a day..the last meal being later at night. He is not much of an eater but if he does get hungry and need more he does let me know. I have never had him throw up tho.. Pam

I apologize if this appears twice. I adopted Mika (Meeka) one week and 2 days ago. I purchased Wellness super 5 mix (puppy, small breed) for her. She is around one year old. She ia 4.25 pounds. I am feeding her 2 times a day, 12 hours apart, 6:30am and 6:30pm. she gets 1/4 cup with a tablsp of broth (home made...no salt or spices) She is pb chihuahua. Saturday and Sunday morning she woke up throwing up white liquid. I researched online and found this was common and due to waking up with an empty stomach. So last night, I cooked rice in some home made chicken broth and gave that to her as a third meal at 10:00pm. No problenm this morning at all. Please consider...I have dachshunds and the 3 of them are true food hounds! So they eat lite with much restraint!! LOL! What do you feed your chihuahuas, what fullfills their dietary requirements best? Do you feed 2 or 3 meals a day? What is the best kibble? Thanks all, I really appreciate all advice. I am an inexperienced chi co-habitant and want to give her the best I can afford.
