How Many Times a Day Should You Feed a Pug Puppy?

Pug puppies should be fed small amounts of food several times per day.

Pug Puppies Need Small, Frequent Meals

Pug puppies should be fed three to four times a day for the first four months. Feed ½ cup to ¼ cup of food at each meal, and choose a high quality dog food that is high in protein and low in fillers.

Pugs Can Easily Become Overweight

If your pug puppy is overweight, you should reduce the number of daily feedings as recommended by your vet. After six months, feed your pug twice a day. Stay away from high calorie treats and table scraps, as these can lead pug puppies to crave more food and receive more calories than they need on a daily basis.

Bottom Line

Although pugs are small, they have large appetites. Never deprive your growing puppy of adequate nutrients, but make sure that its food is nutritious.
