How often should I feed my puppy?
After weaning puppies will usually be fed three times a day by the breeder, usually at breakfast time, lunch time and again in the evening.
You should continue feeding for three times a day until the puppy is at least 4 months of age. At 4 months it is fine to go down to two feedings a day - one in the morning and one in the evening - and many owners choose to do this as it fits their lifestyle better.
Some owners leave out their dog's food all day so he can eat when he chooses too. Others believe that this can encourage over eating and will take away any uneaten food 20 minutes after the meal.
It is important to measure your dog's daily intake of food to guard against overfeeding, and to establish a routine so your dog will know what to expect. Fresh drinking water should be available to your puppy at all times.
