Hello everyone..
I thought I had posted this, but maybe I did not press SEND!
Anyway....
My almost 9wk puppy is coming tomorrow... how often should I feed her?
I know it should be 4 times (Food/Milk/Food/Milk).
But I also remember that soon she should drop to 3 meals per day.

1) When? and still alternating Food with Milk?


Also, I read few times here that Milk is often not very digestible for them... Do they need a special Milk?

2) Could I perhaps buy her our Oat Milk? If so (and the same applies to whichever Milk)..
3) how much each time?

For the moment I am planning to make her eat every 6 hours.... with the last meal 2 hours before going to bed.

4) Would it be too early?
5) would she wake up hungry in the middle of the night (she's going to be awake anyway though...)?

6)Shall I feed her during the night?
no right?

7) If last feeding happens at 8,30pm/9pm.. then can she wait until 6am for the next meal? Would that be the time for the Milk?
I plan to give her the solid meals at lunch and dinner....


Please any advice welcome.. I am so nervous to make mistake.. not to understand when she needs to eat, when she only wants attentions and when she wants to drink at night (which I know she must not do)...

Please give me some tip!!!

Yeah 4 times a day then 3 times a day at around 6 months.

Eg 8am. 12pm. 4pm. 8pm is what I did. Your pup won't be awake all night, they are just like babies and sleep lots!

Don't give cows milk. He shouldn't need any milk, breeder should have weaned him to solids already. Get a good complete puppy food.

Water bowl down at all times.

The breeder should be able to tell u most things u need to know regarding what food etc etc

Good luck with ur new addition and can't wait to see pics !

i bought some puppy milk from the supermarket, when i looked at the ingredients it turned out to be goats milk which is alot cheaper than the "puppy milk".
