How Often Should I Feed a 10-Month-Old Dog?

Feed a 10-month-old dog twice a day.

Twice a day

Any dog older than three months should be fed two times each day. This feeding system should continue throughout the dog's entire lifespan. When only fed once, dogs often become very hungry and tend to overeat. Also be sure to take the food away after 15 minutes because if food is always available, dogs tend to overeat.

Once a day may be OK

Some dogs do well on a once a day feed diet. Keeping the time of the meal consistent is especially important when the dog is only fed once. This will help make sure that your puppy doesn't go hungry throughout the day.

Bottom Line

The vet always knows best. Because different breeds and sizes of dogs require different amounts of food and exercise, it's tough to predict which diet will be the healthiest for your pet. A simple call or visit to the vet can help establish an exact meal plan for a specific puppy.
