Hi,

I also have a dog 9lb 8oz and he's low energy too. Lately he's
been a little off his feed so eating about 4 oz a day instead of the
6 he usually eats.
I think you'll find that the smaller dogs need a little more than the
quoted rates.....you can always cut back if they seem to be getting
chunky, lol.
If yours is an older dog, he also needs less bone.
When you're doing that weighing make sure you're weighing meat and
not bone........

Mine will usually put away a chicken leg or a thigh in a day or
an equal amount of beef.........

Got a freezer full of goodies for him but it's gonna be a long
time for him to go through them all........
