Puppies should be weaned on to solid food by 6 weeks of age. From this time puppies should have 3 or 4 small meals a day until 3 months of age, then 2 meals a day until 6 to 12 months of age, depending on breed. Small dogs may finish growing by 9 months of age while large and giant breeds can continue growing for up to 18 to 24 months.
Take care not to feed your puppy whenever and however much it likes. Obese puppies grow into obese dogs and are at risk of serious diseases such as Diabetes. Large and giant breed puppies can develop bone defects if they grow too fast and it is essential to control their daily portions.
Individual animals can vary in their requirements. Use the feeding levels on the product label as a guideline and adjust according to your puppy's condition and weight. Your vet will have scales for regular weighing and can advise you of the recommended weight range for your puppy

How many weeks old does a dog have to be to be considered a puppy?
Feed your puppy twice a day. Be sure to feed a good quality brand of dry puppy food. Twice a day is best for a 2 month old puppy on up through adult hood. You feed only what the pup will eat at the time, pick up any left over food after about 10-15 minutes. Once a day is not enough and 3 times a day tends to make a pup too picky at that age plus put on too much weight. 2nd Answer: It also depends on the appetite of your puppy. You could feed 1-3 times a day just depending on how much he wants to eat and how much he does eat.
