How Much Food?

How much food should I give a male 12 week old? The last owner just left food out and the pups ate at their leisure. I was thinking twice a day but not sure how much to give him... any suggestions?

How Much Food?
by: Marilyn

What a pretty pup! I have a tri-colored 3 1/2 year old.
As for his food, I don't believe he needs to have a constant supply on hand at his age. Whatever you are feeding him should have a feeding chart on it which is gauged to the size & age of the dog. I find they usually suggest a little higher amount than necessary, but it's a place to start. Over feeding can be as big a problem as underfeeding so be careful. He looks to be in perfect shape in your photo, good luck!

Puppies need to eat 3 x a day for the first 6 months, then 2 x a day thereafter. Check the instructions on the bag. Always give your dog a top quality food - no fillers (wheat, soy, corn). Rice is ok.

Weight
by: Paul

We are giving Ringo our 13 week old Aussie 300g per day I am reluctant to give him more at the moment even though he seems hungry, worm treatment up to date, also he is having Royal Canin puppy food, which isn’t the cheapest on the French market, what weight are you all giving your dogs please for my reference.
