Instructions
Wean your puppy to solid food at 6 weeks old. A puppy's small stomach can't tolerate large amounts of food, so pups from 6 weeks to 3 or 4 months old need to eat 3 or 4 times a day. Smaller breeds mature quicker and will be ready for the transition before dogs of larger breeds. After 3 months, your new family member can continue to grow and develop on 2 meals a day. Make a schedule and mark the calendar for when to make the switch.
Purchase organic kibble from a pet supply store. Make sure the one you buy is designed for a puppy and appropriate for her breed. If organic is unavailable, check to make sure the ingredients are high-quality, human-grade food.
Measure out the recommended amount with a measuring cup and pour it into a bowl that you have designated as your puppy's dish. Larger breeds require more food than small breeds. Most packaging indicates the amount to feed your dog depending on his current weight.
Add carrots and plain, organic yogurt to your puppy's kibbles. Dogs love carrots, which are good for eyesight. Yogurt is a good source of calcium, and dogs seem to go crazy for it.
How to Feed a Puppy
Puppies are any dogs under the age of 24 months. Puppies need to eat more often than adult dogs, while what they eat varies only slightly from the food of their seniors. Usually, stores sell special puppy food alongside regular dog food.
