Do your Pomsky’s eating habits have you worried that they’re eating too much, or not enough? Do you fill the bowl and it never seems to be eaten? Or is your Pomsky starting taking the shape of a circle? No matter what your situation is, we’ve got you covered!

How much do Pomskies Eat?

Although small in size, Pomskies are very active and full of energy. Because of this, they require between 1 ⅔ to 2 cups of kibble per day when fully grown. The amount of food your Pomsky needs to eat depends on their weight, age, and how much exercise they do per day. We have included a chart below for how much your Pomsky should eat based on their weight, but be sure to check with your veterinarian to be sure your Pomsky is receiving the proper amount of food.

Although the calorie content of each cup of food varies between different brands, here is a general guideline to give you a rough idea of what to expect.

How Much An Adult Pomsky Should Eat

Weight (lbs)	Amount of food (cups)
3 – 12	½ – 1
13 – 20	1 – 1 ⅓
21 – 35	1 ⅓ – 2

How much a puppy Pomsky should eat

Expected Weight (lbs)	1 ½ – 3 months (cups)	4-5 months (cups)	6-8 Months (cups)
3 – 6	½	½	½
7 – 12	¾ – 1	1	1
13 – 20	½ – 1	1 – 1 ¼	1

How Often Should A Pomsky Eat?

When it comes to eating schedules, we recommend feeding your puppies three times a day, and adult Pomskies two times a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Many owners, however, opt to fill the bowl once a day and let the Pomsky nibble on it throughout the day. We recommend feeding them multiple times a day, and if you start seeing that they nibble on it throughout the day rather than eating it all at once, you can switch to just filling their bowl once per day.

What Should I feed my Pomsky?

We recommend starting with kibble. When selecting your kibble make sure the ingredients contain the proper amount of protein and do not unhealthy contain fillers such as animal by-products. A fantastic resource for dogfood research is www.dogfoodadvisor.com/. We recommend checking it out! Another thing you should consider is if you will be putting your puppy on a grain-free diet or not. This is a highly debatable topic and you should ask your vet for their thoughts on your specific scenario.

What if my Pomsky doesn’t like kibble?

Some Pomskies can be picky eaters, if your dog does not like eating kibble, we recommend mixing in some wet dog food. Chances are your Pomsky will eat it all on sight!

Can a Pomsky Eat Raw Meat?

Yes, adult Pomskies can eat raw meat. However, if you decide to feed your Pomsky a raw meat diet, make sure to educate yourself on nutrition as dogs require different nutrients than humans. When done right, feeding your Pomsky a raw meat diet provides benefits such as a healthier coat and skin and improved oral health. Some experts recommend cooking the meat before serving it to your dog because cooked food is more digestible, but if your pup prefers raw meat and has no digestive problems feel free to spoil them with a juicy steak!

How do I know if my Pomsky is eating too much?

Too much food along with not enough exercise can lead to obesity in Pomskies. You can tell when your dog is getting overweight by doing the following:

• Feel their rib cage – if you can’t feel the grooves of your dog’s ribcage, they’re overweight.
• Look at your Pomsky from the side – is their stomach raised or is it sagging? If their stomach is sagging, your Pomsky is overweight.
• Look down at your Pomsky from the top – do you see a waist between the back of their ribs and their hips? If not, your Pomsky is overweight.

Tips for losing weight: 

• Go on long walks and play more with your Pomsky, we advise at least 3 walks a day, with one walk being at least 30 minutes. Dog parks work great too!
• Cut back on treats, many owners do not realize how many calories are in treats and when your Pomsky is overweight we recommend cutting down the number of treats you give first.
• Cut down your dog’s daily food intake. If you are currently leaving a full bowl out all day, try feeding your dog twice a day instead. Many Pomskies are bad at self-regulating their food intake, and splitting their food into two meals per day will help reduce hunger.

Key Takeaways:

• Adult Pomskies should eat around 1 ⅓ – 2 cups a day of kibble as adults.
• Pomskies should eat three times a day as a puppy, and either twice a day as an adult, or if they’re good about self-regulating their intake you can fill the bowl once per day and let them nibble on it throughout the day.
• Yes – Pomskies can eat raw meat
• If your Pomsky needs to lose weight, try raising their levels of exercise, reduce the number of treats you give them and ration their food into two meals per day while lowering the amount of food you feed them.
