By the time that you take your puppy home at 7-8 weeks, he or she will be weighting about 15 pounds. We feed our puppies High quality grain free Large Breed Puppy Formula. They usually eat about 1cup 3 times a day. By 10 weeks he should be eating about 2 cups 2 times a day. This amount increases rapidly as the puppy grows to about 4 cups 2 times a day, by the time they are 7-8 months old. As their growth rate starts to slow down, so do their food requirements. You should start decreasing the amount of food until your puppy is about 2 years old, and keep him in good body condition. Use common sense. If your puppy/dog is too fat, then feed less food. If he is losing weight then increase the amount of food. If you prefer to feed your puppy 3 -4- 5......... times a day, you are most likely end having problems potty training him. Most puppies like to release themselves after they eat so the more times a day you feed him, the more times a day you are stimulating his need to eliminate. A 10 weeks old puppy needs to eat 2 times a day only. However, the important thing is how much food he is getting through the day. Split that amount in 2 or 3 parts. Keep him in 2 meals a day until he is at least 1 year old, or keep this schedule through your dog’s life.
