How often does a 1 week old puppy need feeding?

A 1-week-old puppy needs to be fed every 2-3 hours, around the clock. This means you will need to wake up multiple times during the night to feed your puppy. The total daily amount of food a puppy needs depends on its breed and weight. Smaller breeds will need more frequent meals than larger breeds.

Here are some tips for feeding your 1-week-old puppy:

- Use a high-quality puppy food that is specially formulated for puppies.

- Puppy food is rich in protein and nutrients to help puppies grow and develop properly.

- Always follow the feeding instructions on the puppy food package.

- Free feeding is not recommended for puppies.

- This can lead to obesity and other health problems.

- Try not to overfeed your puppy. Puppies should have a lean build and a visible waist.

- After a puppy is 6 weeks old, you can start to feed them four times a day.

- By the time your puppy is 12 weeks old, they can be fed three times a day.

- By the time your puppy is 18 weeks old, they can be fed twice a day.

In addition to milk, you can start to introduce other foods to your puppy's diet around 4 weeks old. Try to make sure that the puppy's digestive system is capable of digesting the foods that you are trying to introduce.
