6 month old Maltipoo
Mixed breed (Maltese and a poodle) We've received mixed inputs from different vets about how much to feed my puppy..
They said to reduce four meals to three meals. And feed him 180 GMs of food per day! And another vet said to keep feeding till he's licking the bowl..
Is that right? Are we under feeding or over feeding?
His current weight is 5.6 kg and he's 6 months old

There is no need to get confused. Whatever brand food you are using, if you check the package, you will find the feeding chart. It will have clear instructions on the amount of feed needed for a small breed puppy of 6 months' age.
Example. If the pack says 150 grams, then that indicates 150 grams for one full day. You can give it as 3 meals (50g per meal).
It is always the brand recommendations we need to follow to provide a balanced diet for them.
