How much should I feed my 8 week old puppy?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Puppies should be fed three to four times a day therefore if you are currently feeding ¾ a cup of puppy food twice a day you should consider spacing it out by feeding ½ cup three times a day.


How much and how often should an 8 week old puppy eat?

When you first receive your 8 week old puppy you will be feeding him/her 3/4 of a cup 3 times a day (Purina Pro Plan Puppy food for Large Breed) soaked in hot water until it softens. Keep doing this for about 1 week, then taper off on time of soaking so eventually he/she will be eating dry food with a little water.

Is my 8 week old puppy eating enough?

Puppies usually need a day or two to get used to their new surroundings. It's more critical that small breeds and very young puppies eat regularly. If your puppy is between 8 and 12 weeks, hasn't eaten in a day, and is acting quiet, talk to your vet.
