Feeding Your Puppy: A First-Year Timeline. 6–12 weeks: Growing pups should be fed puppy food, a diet specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs for normal development. Feeding adult food will rob your puppy of important nutrients.


Is it OK for a puppy to eat regular dog food?

There's certainly nothing toxic about adult dog food, and your puppy won't become sick from eating the odd bowl of kibble or stealing morsels from his big-brother's dish (aside, potentially, from some minor digestive upset). However, long-term damage can result from a steady diet of adult dog food.

What foods can 12 week old puppies eat?

A small amount of finely-cut vegetable matter may be offered, such as cooked pumpkin or carrots. Provide access to grass (avoid chemically treated grass and toxic plants). Puppies will sometimes eat grass which may be a source of vegetable matter and micronutrients.
