The charts are designed to help you calculate feeding of all food types, however, we do recommend feeding a fresh, proven healthy diet that’s formulated specifically for puppies. This will provide them with the highest-quality nutrients to support their long-term growth and overall health.
How Often Should Puppies Eat?
How often should you feed a puppy will depend on their current age and estimated age of maturity.
Although puppies require a higher caloric intake, it is best to feed them small meals multiple times a day until they become adults. This eases digestion and helps pups keep their energy levels steady throughout the day.
