To make sure that your teacup dog stays fit and healthy as an adult, it is imperative that you feed it sensibly and wisely. There can be no strict rule about how much to feed or how many times a day.
One or two meals a day is usually sufficient for an adult teacup dog to keep him happy and healthy. If you have a cat as well as a dog, it may be a good idea to feed the cat on a higher surface so that its bowl is out of the teacup dogs reach.
Always prevent dogs from fighting with other pets during mealtime. This may help to avoid quarrels and possibly a scratched nose.
A fit and healthy teacup dog that has sufficient exercise should have no problem in clearing its food bowl. The exercise that a teacup dog gets also goes a long way in providing for the happiness of the dog.
If you own a couple of teacup dogs, it is often sensible to supervise their mealtime. An assertive dog can push a younger or weaker dog out of the way.
Always do your best to encourage your teacup dog through mealtime. One would want the teacup dog to associate mealtime with positive feelings so that in the future the dog will eat and have proper nutrition.
