How Much To Feed A Puppy


There’s a lot to plan for a puppy’s arrival. At the top of the list is how much to feed a puppy. Your puppy’s portions depend on his breed, weight, and age. Plan ahead and create a puppy feeding schedule that is consistent, nutritionally balanced and meets his energy requirements.

Why feeding puppies puppy food is important
Puppies need a lot of calories, extra protein, and more fat to help sustain growth, so puppy food is balanced accordingly. Typically, puppy food also includes some of the nutrients found in mother’s milk, like the Omega Fatty Acid DHA.

To ensure you’re selecting a puppy food, make sure it is labeled specifically for puppies or says “for all life stages” somewhere on the package.


Puppy feeding chart
How much to feed a puppy and how often to feed a puppy depends first and foremost on his age. The easiest way to remember how much to feed a puppy is to create a puppy feeding chart that matches your puppy’s breed and weight at maturity.

Very young puppies need to eat a high-quality puppy food diet approximately 3 to 4 times per day. The frequency of feeding puppies goes down to 3 times per day at around 3 to 6 months of age, and 2 times per day at around 6 to 12 months.

After about a year, most puppies can transition to a nutritionally balanced adult dog food diet 2 times per day.

How much to feed a puppy
Age Portions Frequency
8 – 12 Weeks Small Portions 3-4x/day
4 – 5 Months Puppy Food 3x/day
6 – 8 Months Puppy Food 2x/day
9 – 11 Months Adult Food 2x/day
1 – 2 Year* Adult Food 2x/day
2 Year +* Adult Food 2x/day
Check the back of your puppy’s food packaging to get accurate portion sizes for his weight.
*Toy and smaller breeds may be able to transition to adult food a little earlier (some as early as 7 to 9 months), while some giant breeds don’t reach adulthood until around 18-24 months. Ask your veterinarian for specific guidance here, and if you have any doubts as to when your puppy has officially become a full-grown dog, keep him on puppy food a little longer. When it comes to feeding puppies, it’s better to give a few extra nutrients than not enough.

What to feed puppies in the first year
As a new pet parent, you’ll find no shortage of dog food choices for feeding puppies. Puppies grow at a rapid pace, and a few food transitions are to be expected.


Starting Solids: 8 weeks old

Typically, solids introduced at 8 weeks of age.
Transition the pup slowly to solids, usually over 5 – 7 weeks.
At first, wet the kibble with water.
Allow the kibble to soak for a few minutes so that’s it’s soft.
Continue to wet the kibble with water over several weeks.
Each week use 1 tsp less water to soften the food.
By week 3 – 4, your puppy’s meals should be mostly crunchy kibble.
At week 7, he should be fully transitioned onto the dry dog food.


Regular Feeding: 6 – 12 months old

At 6 to 12 months establish regular eating times.
Start serving 2 feedings per day.
Create your own puppy feeding schedule routine.
The first step on the schedule is to leave the bowl of food on the floor for a set amount of time.
For beginners, start with 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how fast your dog eats.
Be consistent with the schedule and always use the same place to feed your dog, same time, and same time period.
