How to Feed a Dog or Puppy

Video Transcript

"Feeding your dog should be a routine repetition activity every day. They say that puppies grow faster and require more protein, nutrition than adult dogs, so should be fed more often. My recommendation for puppies, under the age of four months, is to feed them three to four times a day. After the age of three to four months, you can feed them two times a day. And any adult dog over the age of three to four can be fed only once per day. This is just a rough estimate, please consult your vet, food bag feeding requirements or other dog professionals to make sure you're feeding your dog accordingly. Generally speaking the feeding requirements on your bag label will tell you how much to feed your dog. Like I mentioned earlier, if you notice loose stool, generally a good sign you're feeding your dog too much. You also can give different additives such as yogurt, cheeses, unseasoned meats and fish to your dog's kibble, just to make it a little more attractive as well. And finally always feed your dog at the same time of day, in the same place in the house, so they know its feeding time. "
