And finally....Puppies should have access to food and water 24/7...they don't eat much and I found my babies to be more grazers anyhow..never eating more than a couple bites at a time all day...

Being so small I would also have honey or nutrical on hand in case his blood sugar drops...

Good luck..I hope your puppy is healthy!
I disagree that Eukenuba is a low quality dog food. Probably not the highest quality with respect to protein levels but overall not a bad food. For the food snobs out there, yes there are higher quality foods out there including grain free, holistic etc..but overall don't worry about the brand of food.

We did free feed our little one for the first 6 months. They usually just pick and run. It's hard to overfeed them when they are young but once they are about 1 year old, we only fed them 2 times a day. Once in the morning and once for dinner. Enjoy your new baby.
