How many times a day you should feed a puppy very much depends on age and breed. On average though, a puppy should be fed 4-5 meals a day after they have weaned at 8 weeks, and then 2-3 meals a day until they are 5-6 months old.
Puppy age, How often you should feed your puppy per day, Feeding interval, Suggested times each day, are as follows:
8 - 10 weeks, 5 times, 3 hours, 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm.
10 - 12 weeks, 4 times, 4 hours, 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm.
12 weeks -5 months, 3 times, 5 hours, 7am, 12pm, 5pm.
5-6 months +, 2 times, 8-10 hours, 7-9am, 5-7pm.
Feeding little and often fuels rapid growth without overloading little tummies.
The best times to feed a puppy are at regular intervals throughout the day, as a routine helps your puppy to produce digestive juices in readiness for their meal.
