It's important to get your puppy feeding habits right from an early age.

Making sure your puppy eats the right amount of healthy, wholesome food from an early age helps protect them against developing common health problems later in life caused by being overweight or eating too much of the wrong ingredients.

Remembering to regularly check in on your puppy’s feeding regime ensures your pup develops at a healthy rate and enjoys all the nutrients they need.

How many times should I feed my pup every day?

Most puppies will happily dine on 3 meals per day until they are 6 months old. Stick to a timely routine of breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Puppy / Junior Feeding Guide

    Make sure you’re feeding the right amount. A simple rule of thumb is to feed your puppy 20g per 1kg of body weight per day. So, if you have a puppy weighing 5kg, they will need 100g per day.

    Be mindful of treats and extras! Using your puppy’s food as a treat will be adequate at this early stage.

    Help! My puppy isn't eating enough.

    If your puppy temporarily loses their appetite or suffers an upset tummy, try not to panic. This is common as they adapt to their new environment. As they settle in and get used to their surroundings, meal times will improve.

    How can I make mealtimes engaging and fun?

    Stuffing a Kong with some of your dog’s daily kibble is a perfect way to make meal times more fun. Normal dry kibble can be soaked to make stuffing easier.

    To increase the level of difficulty for your dog, you could even store the stuffed Kong in the freezer overnight or go the extra mile and mix a few tasty vegetables with the kibble to make your stuffed Kong more interesting.
