My vet told me they need at least 5 percent of their weight a day. I kept dry food out all the time when my pup was as little as yours. I gave her dry food with a little water until about 5 months old. At over 1 year old, she now eats twice a day-about 1/8 cup dry food with a tablespoon of cottage cheese, a few spinach leaves, carrot slices, or a tablespoon of wet dog food at each meal. I try to change the extra at each meal cause she doesn't like the dry dog food. hope this helps |
