Feeding new puppy... Hey Everyone, So my boyfriend and I recently added a new addition to our little family.. a little baby girl named Mia. Mia is currently 10 weeks old, 1.2 lbs, and she came from the same breeder as our boy Manny. When Manny was a puppy, he wouldn't eat very much... so we just left his food out all the time. Mia is the complete opposite. She seems to want to eat ALL the time. We have been trying to feed her just 3 times a day (per our vet's recommendation). However, it seems like she's always hungry still. Few Questions: 1. How much food should we be feeding her? 2. Should we be feeding her until she doesn't want to eat anymore? 3. How many times a day should we feed her? |
hi congrats on your new baby. my little boy oscar also has a ravenous appetite. when i brought him home @ 12 weeks i fed him 2 tbs 4 times per day. he was 4 lbs @ 12 weeks. i am not telling you to feed your little one that much but just to give you and idea. you could try increasing to 4 meals a day, that may help. @ 1.2 lbs she will not a lot of food in one meal |
I asked this question before on a different thread, Sheldon is 15 weeks today, when he was 10 weeks (2.4 lbs) the vet suggested the amount of 1/8 cup of dry food 3 times a day. At 15 weeks 1/2 a cup is not enough, he has a vet appointment this morning so I'll ask her how much should he be eating. Good luck and congrats on the new puppy :) Maggie |
