Depending on his size, a puppy will to eat as much as four times each day until he is four months old. Establish a regular feeding schedule for your dog. Give him breakfast, lunch and dinner with a snack in between. Adjust portions to your puppy's sensitive digestive system and size. Feed a larger, heavier pup bigger portions; smaller animals, accordingly smaller portions more frequently. As soon as your four-legged child reaches four months, wean him to 2 meals daily.

Buy your puppy the best high quality food you can find as this is critical to your pet's healthy development. The label should include the words "nutritionally complete and balanced."

Some individuals feed their dogs exclusively dry food while other people opt for wet food only or feed a mix of dry and wet. If you choose dry food it may be essential to soften it with a bit of canned food in his initial couple of months as puppies sometimes have a challenging time chewing it. As a general rule of thumb, in the event you can really feel your puppy's ribs but can't see them, he is likely a healthy weight for his size.
