One meal a day won't do. An adult dog will require 2-3 meals a day, and a puppy (up to 6 months old) will require from 4-6 meals a day, depending on how small the puppy is. Puppies and very small adults are prone to Hypoglacemia.
Some toy breeds become picky eaters and that is usually from free feeding (leaving the food out all day) and/or feeding them table scraps.
