Any Q

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.


How often should you feed a 5 month old puppy?

Feed your puppy frequently in the beginning – at least 3 to 4 times per day − and more often if they're very young. At 5 to 6 months, you can slowly transition to 2 to 3 meals per day by gradually reducing the mid-day meal and slightly increasing breakfast and dinner.

Can I feed my 5 month old puppy twice a day?

For the first few months of a puppy's life, they will need small meals of food throughout the day as they transition from their mother's milk to solid food. Starting around four months, puppies can begin eating about three times a day, and after that, puppies will quickly graduate to twice-a-day feedings.
