Yes, small amounts (1/4 cup or less), maybe 3 or 4 times a day, soft food or pre-soaked kibble, add a little water or plain (no onion) homemade chicken broth to ensure adequate fluid intake.
Don’t forget, what comes in, must come out. Take him to the designated location (preferably outside) at least every 2 hours, first thing in the morning and bedtime, for bathroom breaks. Praise him when he does something.
Somewhere around 3-4 months you can decrease the feedings to 3 a day, then 2.
Weigh him once a week, to find the right portion amounts once he reaches his ideal weight.
My 9 pound dog eats 1/4 cup of kibble with a heaping tablespoon of topper twice a day, maybe 1/2 carrot once or twice a day for a snack. Don’t be alarmed if you see carrot chunks in the feces, it’s all fiber, it doesn’t hurt them.
PS: Often the recommended amounts on the dog food bags are too much, I would go with the lowest amount.
