Although many breeds do quite well [and are healthy] on one meal a day, high-activity dogs, such as Chihuahuas, benefit from a twice-a-day feeding schedule because it provides a more constant supply of energy. If your Chihuahua is prone to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), your veterinarian may recommend more frequent meals. read more
