Russian Toy feeding guide: how much and how often
Daily calories, portions by age and practical feeding tips for the Russian Toy.
Weigh the food rather than scooping it: a Russian Toy usually needs only 30 to 50 g of a typical dry food a day, roughly a third to half a cup, split into two or three small meals. At portions this small, a kitchen scale is far more accurate than a cup, and small-bite kibble made for toy breeds is easiest for tiny jaws.
Very small dogs have little energy in reserve, and puppies in particular can become weak or wobbly if they go too long without eating. Feed four small meals a day until about four months, then three until six months. For adults, a shallow, heavy bowl that cannot tip is easiest to use. Weigh your dog every two to four weeks, since a 200 g gain is significant at this size.

Puppy portions need measured weight, growth stage and the food’s energy content. A breed-average curve is not a feeding plan. Calculate with measured inputs and review the result with your vet.
