Well, like babies, puppies have small tummys. So the best thing for a six week old puppy would be, three or four meals a day: about 1/2 cup in the morning, 1/4 cup next meal, another 1/4 cup next meal, and a 1/3 cup at night. This is about one and a third cups of food per day. Sometimes though, puppies need more food, so f this seems like it's not enough, and your puppy is looking at his empty bowl, searching for food, then bump up one of his 1/4 cup meals, to a 1/3 cup or 1/2 cup. When they are six months old, they should eat only two meals a day, but with larger portions: 1 1/2 cups in the morning, 1 1/2 cups at night. As they grow more, 2 cups in morning and night. For more information, you should rent a book from a library, or look online.

Hi,

Measure his food and feed him twice a day. But how much your dog eats depends on a number of factors, including age, bone structure, and energy level, as well as the quality of the food you give him.

Hi, A puppy eats a lot of food. From birth up to six months of age, he'll need to eat two to four times as much as an adult dog to support all that growth. Here are some general guidelines on what and how much you should feed your puppy.
