How long can puppy go without eating overnight?

Can a puppy go without water all 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.

Can a puppy go 12 hours without water?

Under normal circumstances, a dog can go 6-10 hours without water without any ill effects. If you forget to top up his water bowl before leaving for work, or if your dog knocks his bowl over while you're gone, don't panic. If he is indoors, cool, and in good health, he will be fine.
