You need to start off slowly, giving it only very small amounts at a time. Depending on the breed (size) of the puppy, the amount will range from about one to three tablespoons each feeding. The mother is still nursing the pups, so it won't be necessary to feed it more than twice a day. If you are using dry puppy food instead of canned, mix it with a little warm water to soften it, which will make it easier for the puppy to eat.

Then, after about 5 - 7 days, you can increase the amount of food by a little bit, and feed it three times a day. That way, by the time the mother has it completely weaned by about six weeks of age, it will already be used to the dog food.

The amount you feed your dog will vary greatly depending on his size, age, and activity level, as well as on the type of food he's eating. As we know, puppies and young dogs burn more calories, so they need a greater quantity of food that is higher in fat and protein. If you are feeding your adult dog a commercial pet food, select one that is specially formulated for adult dogs.
