How to Properly Feed Your Pomsky

When analyzing a healthy diet for your pomsky, it is crucial to think about how often you should feed them, what times are most beneficial, and what foods you should avoid in your pomskies nutrition.

How often should you feed your Pomsky?

2-6 month old puppies- Each pomsky puppies should be fed 3 meals daily during this period. You may need to include snacks as well in between meals. 
6+ month old dogs- Your pomsky should be fed 2 meals daily during this stage of their life. Giving them snacks between meals is recommended as well. You can plan on giving them snacks between their meals during this time as well. 

How much should I feed my Pomsky?

Although the response to this question depends on the type of dog food, whether it's wet or dry, the activity level or your Pomsky, and so-on, we have a few guidelines you can follow to start with, and then you may change it based on the needs of your dog and ingredients of your dog food.

• 2 to 4 lbs - Feed 1/3 to 1/2 cups per day
• 5 to 8 lbs - Feed 1/2 to 3/4 cups per day
• 8 to 10 lbs - Feed 1/2 to 3/4 cups per day
• 10 to 12 lbs - Feed 3/4 to 1 cup per day
• 13 to 17 lbs - 1 to 1 1/4 cups per day

You may also find recommended portions on certain brand dog foods so I would read the labels and keep their recommended portions in mind as well.

Should I feed my Pomsky Wet or Dry Dog Food?

The response to this question might change for specific dogs, so here are some things to keep in mind. Dry dog food can help keep your dog's teeth strong and healthy, but your Pomsky could better receive wet dog food. It just depends on the particular dog. If your Pomskies diet consists mostly of wet food, they could be at risk of having loose or runny bowels, so we suggest attempting to use dry dog food at first. If your Pomsky isn't very open to the dry dog food, you can always try adding a little bit of water to soften the food or mix in a small bit of soft dog food with their dry food.
