The Great Boston Terrier Feeding Frenzy: How to Avoid Becoming a Shorty Snack Dispenser
Ah, Boston Terriers. Those adorable little bundles of energy (or lethargy, depending on the day) with eyes that melt your heart faster than a cheese puff in a hot car. But with all that cuteness comes a big question: how much food should this tiny tuxedoed friend be eating? Fear not, fellow Boston Terrier enthusiasts, for I am here to guide you through the treacherous terrain of portion control!
First things first: Forget the Bag, Embrace the Beagle
Those handy feeding guidelines on the dog food bag? They're a good starting point, sure. But listen up, because this is crucial: Your Boston Terrier is an individual, not a canine measuring cup! Think of them more like a mischievous beagle with a bottomless stomach disguised in a dapper tuxedo.

Here's the key: Observe your Boston Terrier's physique. A healthy Boston should have a distinguishable waist and ribs that you can easily feel with a gentle touch. If they look like a furry sausage with legs, it's cut back on the kibble. If their ribs are jutting out like a xylophone, well, you might be a monster, but more likely they need a bit more fuel in their tank.
Age is Just a Number (Unless You're a Dog)
Reminder: Save this article to read offline later.
Just like us, Boston Terriers have different needs at different stages of life. Puppies are growing bundles of energy, so they'll need more food than their adult counterparts. Senior Bostons may slow down a bit, so adjust their portions accordingly.

Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Pro Tip: The "Zoomies" Test
