| How much to feed? I am in the process of switching Rudy from Royal Canine, he came home on this, to Innova puppy. My question is, how much food should he be getting in a day? I would split it out over three feedings. I know to look on the package but that particular food doesn't have the information that I need due to his size and that is is made for all breeds of puppies. Currently I am feeding him 1/8 cup three times a day of Royal Canine and have started adding a few bits of the Innova in. He is 9 weeks old. |

| When lucy was a baby, I left food down all the time. Puppies need access to food when they are growing. Just mix in parts 1/4 new food with 3/4 old food & gradually go to 1/2 & 1/2, 3/4 & 1/4, and then all new food. Should take a couple weeks or so. When she turned about one year old, or so, was when I split her daily food into 1/2 in morning, 1/2 at dinner.

| He is a big boy, he is 9 1/2 weeks old and weighs 3 pounds. I think I understand how to switch to the new food but I am just concerned about the overall amount he should be getting. Also we are on scheduled feeding because I work outside the home and need control over his potty time. I do go home to let him out and feed him. |
