Any Q

It's a good idea to split the two meals up. Most dog owners choose to feed their puppy in the morning and in the afternoon. Pet feeding experts recommend giving your puppy their first meal at 7 am in the morning, soon after waking up. You can then take them for their walk or play a game with them.


How do I transition my dog from eating 3 to 2 times a day?

From six to 12 weeks of age, feed four meals a day. From three months to six months, feed three meals a day. From six months to 12 months, switch your puppy to two meals a day.

When should I switch my dog to two meals a day?

6–12 months: Begin feeding twice daily. Spaying or neutering lowers energy requirements slightly; after the procedure, switch from nutrient-rich puppy food to adult maintenance food. Small breeds can make the switch at 7 to 9 months; bigger breeds at 12, 13, even 14 months.

When should I stop giving my dog 3 meals?

When you start to offer solid food or when weaning (usually at around two months old) – four to six meals a day. From two to three months – four meals a day. From four to six months – two to three meals a day. Over six months – two meals a day (depending on the breed)
