Got our 9 week boston terrier today. It has been 6 years since we got the last one. We like to always have two so they can entertain each other sometimes. Anyway, I had forgotten and wanted to review. Your instructions are very good and much appreciated. Thank you!
This was very very helpful. My wife and I just got a puppy that weights 15LB and was trying to find out how much and how many times a day that we should feed him. WOW we feel so relieved. 🎉❤
Thank you! you helped me so much. I now feed my puppy 4 times a day 1/4 a cup Nutro kibble plus a spoon full of nutro wet food. All puppy food hes a chihuahua recue
We are getting out puppy this Saturday. He is blenhaim Cavalier king charles spaniel. It is gonna be so exciting! This video really helped alot even though we have had a dog before. It just good to remember how to feed them and raise them to be healthy and strong. I really love your videos, I learn so much!
For those who don’t understand her it is 1 cup of food split up into 3 times a day she has three bowls separating those meals which means they are not getting 1 cup 3 times that is way to much food. She is measuring by pounds and the second is 2 cups for all day split up and so on
A Rottie puppy at 8 months, (small bear), will go through that bag plus 4 tall cans of wet food per day, plus several squirrels, crows, rabbits, and beavers. You can substitute 1 six year old human child or a small calf or medium sheep in place of the live animals.
@Robbyn Thibert that's so exciting! When will you be getting your little one? I know it can be overwhelming with how much you need to know with a new puppy but we are here to help. Let us know how we can help you and your little one be set up for success and a happy & long life together ❤
I put a small amount of wet food in the microwave for a few seconds then add a spoonful of water (test the temperature with a clean finger). It then can be mashed up really easily and make a tasty, fragrant sauce for the kibble for a picky dog. I do this as more wet food would make my dog have loose stools but dry kibble is too boring and results in weight loss.
I recently adopted 2 cane Corso puppies. They are brother and sister they were 9 and 12 pound's at 8 week's. They are now 12 weeks the Hera is at 20 pound's and Zeus is at 25. They still eat 3x per day but cooking for them has helped them alot and this video helps me out with the amount to give them. Thank you
Getting my cane corso pup tonight. I bought dry food but want to add little ground beef, fish oil and blueberries. What do you think? What did you feed your puppies? He is 8weeks
If the bag says I need to feed 1/4 for my puppy does that mean I need to space that amount throughout the day or give him 1/4 everytime I feed him three times a day?
I would love to know that answer, too. My mini schnauzer is 8 weeks old and the dry bag of food says to give him one third of a cup. Surely that’s too little for the whole day??
This page is poorly run and do not know why they even bother with a channel for people to learn from yet they don’t even answer genuine questions from us subscribers, well ex subscriber now. 🤦🏽♂️
Who would want to feed their dog a food with whole grain wheat and whole grain corn which are two of the top 5 ingredients of the formula. That is the hills science food on the counter by the way.
Hi I just bought myself a Morkie I’m so glad I found your channel. I was feeding him 1/4 cup 2x day so now I will do 3 with wet food. Also no idea they needed sugar ❤thank you soooo much. ? Can I give him banana? Peanut butter? Scrambled egg? Please help me ❤
Thanks! Very good video. We just brought home a 12 week old male Shih Tzu (3 lbs) and I want to give him a mixture of dry/wet food. Do I need to add any water to the wet/dry food mix and if so, how much water for the daily mix?
Thank u for your videos how to feed and train a puppy I’m picking up my toy Pudel tomorrow I have watched all your videos I will try my best to follow your rules I’m so exited and with your help I will do my best xxxx
Congrats on the little one @Hilde Chapman! It sounds like you will be an amazing puppy parent so you little one is so LUCKY to have you! What did you name him?
Thanks for the tip doc. My vet said that I can feed my baby boy twice a day, but overtime I feel that he is not that satisfied. So I looked up to see if there are any suggestions about feeding dogfoods and I found you.
Love your channel and the useful info u have to share. I have two whippets 9 weeks old and we were told by the breeder to feed him 1 cup of food TID and the last meal we offer is at 7:30 but breakfast is not until 7-8:30 am , isn’t this too log from the last meal till breakfast? We are a bit unsure what to do because we wake them up to use the bathroom but sometimes it takes a little while to get them settled back to sleep as they can be whiney and just thinking they could be hungry.
When we get our new Maltese puppy at the end of January, don't we need to gradually transition her from what the breeder was using? Also, what do you recommend with fresh raw foods for the maltese?
Hi everyone, I've read on many pet guides as well as heard from many veterinarians that the amount of wet food should replace a portion of the recommended daily feeding amount on the dry puppy food bag rather than in addition to the dry food amounts. In this video, she gives the wet food on top of the dry food amounts. Isn't this wrong?
This is poor information. Stay away from the Hills brand full of crap…pretty much all kibble are snd never mix wet food with kibble it messes with their PH level! Go raw you can’t go wrong!
I give my American Bully puppy Blue Buffalo's Lamb and Oatmeal...when he becomes an adult I will give him Blue Buffalo's Lamb and Brown Rice...he has muscles and a shiny coat...he loves it!
It’s nice to see the amounts however the amounts are very different for people who cook, feed raw, or feed Freshpet. I have my nutrical ready for my new tiny chihuahua puppy (picking him up 8/7). So ready!!
@@DrLisaLittlejohn Aw thank you so much for asking❤️ He’s more than everything I hoped for! His name is Pixel (his parents both have P names and I wanted something that meant tiny haha!!). He’ll be 6mo next week (3lb)😄
@@ahamrick12 that's amazing!!! I love the name Pixel! It's definitely unique and I love the meaning behind the name. Where did you get that cutie pie from?
I had a question for you, we have two rescue puppies. They are pitbull puppies. Their mother died when they were three weeks old and we received them at six weeks when we adopted them. They said they had deworm them, but unfortunately, we figured out they have not. They still have worms. So when a puppy has worms, should we feed them more? also how much do we be feeding them at three months. Thank you so much sorry for the long comment. 10:14
Hey! Deworm them with whatever the vet says and just feed them like regular puppies (3x a day a good amount) for growing pups! ;) i hope this helped. The dewormer will get rid of worms and recheck their poop with your vet in 4 weeks
My 8 pound maltese X eats one cup of food a day. If you tried to feed a 3 pound maltese all that food, it would explode. The feeding guide might say to feed a certain amount but the reality is that your dog is an individual and if it doesn’t want to stuff its face until it explodes, don’t force it
What do u recommend doing regarding treats?! I know one option is using the kibble they will eat for lets say lunch so as to not go over caloric intake. But if someone were to use pieces of chicken or another high value treat how exactly would someone put that in to account in daily caloric intake for 8 week corgi for example which is what im getting soon
I know I'm not the vet, but the answer is yes. All puppies should be on 3 meals a day (at least. she talks about toy breeds) until about 4 months old :)
Thanks you so much, very helpful. I have a 3lhs, 5 weeks old pitbull. I feed him twice a day. I know your video says 3 times at 8 weeks, if I heard correctly. Wanted to know if that's ok, being at 5 week?
Actually it will better if you have a complete measurement cups. I have from 1/4 until 1 cup and even have mililiters cups for my kitchen equipments and now i used it for feed my 7 weeks old Beagle puppy. I prefer give her 1/4 cup of kibble with a half of boiled fresh chicken liver every meal, 3 times a day. I also put her kibble on toys just for snack, but i make sure its not much than 1/4 cup for whole day. So in total she will eat less than 1 cup with 1 and a half fresh chicken liver everyday.
hi i'm getting an adorable yellow lab puppy; called her penny. she's only 3 weeks right now. i'm so lucky! love your video. i need to know lots of stuff don't i? thanx dr lindsay. x
Dear doctor, my shihtzu is 9 months old. He refuses to eat wet or dry food on his own. We have to force hand feed. How do we overcome this problem without starving or harming him?
What are you feeding him. Seems he does not like what you feed. Have you tried fresh home food like rice vegetables boiled chicken.... They love rice n chicken.
Just be careful with this. That is no where near a complete diet. Dogs and puppies especially end up at the vet from nutrient deficiencies because people do a homecooked diet. If you want to do this, be sure to talk to a vet nutritionist to ensure a complete diet.

Great video! I have two, 8 week old Australian Shepherd puppies joining my family this weekend & I found this video to be incredibly helpful. 😊
Oh my gosh so cute! Be super careful with littermate syndrome it can get intense.

Luke is too cute 😍😍 We love him. Thanks for a great video
Thank you! you helped me so much. I now feed my puppy 4 times a day 1/4 a cup Nutro kibble plus a spoon full of nutro wet food. All puppy food hes a chihuahua recue
Do you feed her a 1/4 cup every meal time out of the four times a day, or is it 1/4 cup in total divided into the 4 meal times a day
Playing puppy chef is amazing! You explained this really well! :)

Thanks! Just picked up up a 10 week old berndoodle and this was very helpful and reassuring.
Very useful information as always, Dr. Lindsay! Love your videos!
Awe thank you! this made my day!
I’m getting a female standard poodle on the 29th of this month. Thank you I’m so glad I watched so I’ll know how much to feed her.
Congratulations, I had a rescue Standard Poodle for 13 glorious years. She will keep your heart full and your walking boots worn out. Enjoy!
For those who don’t understand her it is 1 cup of food split up into 3 times a day she has three bowls separating those meals which means they are not getting 1 cup 3 times that is way to much food. She is measuring by pounds and the second is 2 cups for all day split up and so on

Hello dear can you tell me what and in what quantity should I give to my eight month old husky puppy?
A Rottie puppy at 8 months, (small bear), will go through that bag plus 4 tall cans of wet food per day, plus several squirrels, crows, rabbits, and beavers. You can substitute 1 six year old human child or a small calf or medium sheep in place of the live animals.

Same here for my standard poodle. Dry kibble isn’t worth his time. Trying to find the right mixture of wet to dry so he has firmer stools.
