How often should puppies be feed?

Answer 1

You want to feed it about 4 times a day. Lets say for breakfast, for lunch, for supper, and right before it goes to bed. But when it gets a older, then take away the 4th. But remember when it's an adult, you might want to give it food 2 times a day!

Answer 2

The first 8 weeks -

Puppies should not be separated from their mother before they are 8 weeks old. Puppies that leave their mothers sooner have a rougher time adjusting and a higher incidence of illnesses. I do not know if it is due to weakened immunity or mourning the premature loss of their family. Their mother's milk provides them with the nutrition and antibodies they need to become healthy dogs. At three to four weeks, puppies should begin eating some solid food. You can try mixing three parts food with one part water or puppy replacement milk. This will make the food easier for the puppy to digest. If your puppy begins eating a little solid food before it leave its mother it will have an easier time adjusting when you bring it home. One way to tell if a puppy is ready to come home with you is if it prefers human company over its mom or siblings.

6 to 8 weeks -

Feed your puppy 3-4 times a day. Puppies have different nutritional needs than adult dogs. Choose a puppy food that provides the appropriate balance of nutrients your puppy needs. Be sure it is getting the right amount of protein and calcium, and the proper amount of calories. Check the label to determine if you are feeding your puppy a balanced diet. A specified meat should be the first ingredient on the label.

After 8 weeks -

Feed your puppy twice a day.

3 to 6 months -

Your puppy will be teething. They may become a finicky eater or lose his appetite. Keep feeding them nutritious food twice a day. If they have an upset stomach for more than one or two days, take them to the veterinarian.

6 months to 1 year - Your puppy may look all grown up but they are still a puppy. They should still be fed a high quality food for the added nutrition. Note, in some very high quality foods the company does not make a separate food for puppies because the food is of such a high quality that it provides for both puppy and adult equally. For example, a real human grade chicken is what it is for all ages. If you are feeding a puppy food ask your veterinarian when you should switch to adult food. Make sure the adult food you switch to is still a balanced high quality diet with the first ingredient being a specified meat that is not a by-product.

8 to 9 months -

Feeding should be twice a day.

1 year -

In most breeds feeding should be twice a day.

Answer 3

You need to feed your pup about three to four times a day. Say one at breakfast, one at lunch, one at supper, and then one when you go to bed. When it gets older then you often leave out the 4th. But remember, only feed it twice when it is an adult!

Answer 4

At least twice a day, morning, and then once at night. Don't over feed, witch could cause obesity in extreme measurements, but don't starve them either. And if they seem a little hungry, some puppy chow in between normal times is ok. But always check with a vet to see a good schedule, or just leave food out for the pups so they can eat at their own choiced times.
