Make sure your puppy's last meal is a good three or four hours before his last trip to the garden at your bedtime. So if you like to make your way upstairs at eleven pm, your puppy's last mealtime should be no later than 8pm.
What time should a puppy's last meal be?
The best time for your puppy's first meal is around 7 a.m., noontime for lunch, and 5 p.m. for dinner. The last meal should always be around 5 p.m. so that he will have ample time to digest his food and eliminate one last time before bedtime.
What time should I stop feeding my puppy at night?
As a rule of thumb, remove the food and water bowls about two-to-three hours before bedtime. So, if your lights-out time is at 11 p.m., a puppy should have no food or water after about 8–8:30 p.m. This gives you a chance to take him out for a one last potty break before settling in for the night.
What time should you feed a puppy at night?
Don't feed your puppy in the three hours before bedtime, and do your best to withhold water for the last hour or so. This should elongate the time he sleeps through the night.

Since your dog gets his energy from the food he eats, avoid feeding him directly before bedtime, because the food will digest and energize him hours later -- two to three hours if it's a high-quality, filler-free food. He'll be up and ready to go potty and play games, and you may wind up lacking sleep for the night.
