Practical Feeding Guidelines
Meal Frequency
Feed 2 measured meals per day — morning and evening works best.
Portion Control
Always measure portions with a kitchen scale or measuring cup. Treats should not exceed 10% of daily calories.
Hydration
Ensure fresh water is always available. A Kishu Ken needs approximately 23–45 oz of water daily.
Weight Monitoring
Weigh your Kishu Ken monthly and adjust portions accordingly. Ideal body condition means you can feel (but not see) the ribs.
