Tip 1 - Puppy feeding guidelines

Published: 9 years, 4 month(s) ago | Submitted by Phillip Douglas | permalink

Hello. I am rescuing my first puppy next Monday. She'll be 11.5 weeks when we get her, and I've never had a dog that young. The people fostering her are feeding her litter 3/4c twice a day. She's an Australian shepherd/great pyrenees/golden retriever mix. I keep reading mixed things about feeding them twice or three times a day. Which do you recommend? And if it is 3 times a day, given that she's almost 3 months old, how much would you feed her each time?

During the first few weeks of life, a puppy’s primary activities are feeding, keeping warm and developing social skills.
