How many times a day should a 4 week old puppy eat?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Puppies less than two weeks of age should be fed every 3-4 hours. Puppies two to four weeks of age do well with feedings every 6-8 hours.


Can you overfeed a 4-week-old puppy?

A puppy's digestive system is very delicate, and packing it with too much food is a recipe for irritation. Puppies who overeat will often vomit to relieve pressure on their distended stomachs. If your furry friend manages to keep the food down, it may reappear in a few hours in the form of diarrhea.

Can 4-week-old puppies go all night without eating?

In summary, your puppy can survive without eating for up to 5 hours when he is between 4 to 7 weeks, but we do not recommend your pup waiting this long as they are going through a developmental period. If your puppy is between 6 to 8 weeks old, he can survive without eating for up to 8 hours.

How much milk should a 4-week-old puppy drink?

Hence a puppy should receive 13 ml of formula per 100 g body weight per day during the first week of life, 16 ml per 100 g body weight per day during the second week, 20 ml per 100 g body weight per day during the third week and 22 ml per 100 g body weight per day during the fourth week.
