How much and what should I feed my 3-month-old beagle puppy?

It would be a good idea to feed your puppy three times a day and monitor your puppies weight and growth. You can start with the recommended feeding guidelines on the food you are feeding and adjust as necessary depending on his growth.

Growing puppies need a lot of calories, and I do recommend feeding at least three times a day at this age. It is normal for them to poop 3 or even 4 or 5 times a day! As long as the stool is solid and well formed, this is perfectly normal. Every dog has a slightly different metabolism. If you are feeding the recommended amount on the bag, that is a good place to start. Over the next month you will want to watch his weight. If he seems to be developing fat rolls over this neck and shoulders, you might want to cut back a little. If he is becoming thin and you can see his ribs or hips, then increase the amount. You may have to increase or decrease his food over time as he continues to grow.

Great question! At almost two months of age, Ooge is old enough to be fed a puppy formulated food. It has to be a puppy formulated food because puppies require higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than an adult dog. A puppy food will provide everything he needs to grow properly. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. On the bag, there is a daily recommended amount of food, and I would divide that into three equal portions to feed him three times a day, once in the morning, noon, and evening. Once he turns six months old, he can be fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I hope this helps :-)

I would feeding him according to the instructions on the label (each food has a different daily allotment). Divide the daily recommendation into three equal portions to feed him three times a day (morning, noon, evening). Once he is six months old, he can be fed twice a day (morning and evening).

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Chuey. He should be fed three times a day, once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening. When he is six months of age, you can feed him twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. He should be fed a puppy food until he is one year of age. The bag of food will tell you how much to feed him daily. I hope this helps!

Hello. At this age, a puppy should be fed 3 times a day with limited treats. You can transition him to twice a day feedings somewhere between 16 - 20 weeks of age. As long as the food you choose is a well-balanced puppy food, such as Science Diet, Royal Canin or Purina, you can continue to feed Roman the canned, or a combination of canned & dry. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I recommend a gradual transition over the course of a week or so from your current dog food to Royal Canin Adult Beagle food which can usually be found in PetCo’s and is also available online. I would also look up ‘body condition scoring chart for dogs’ and determine whether Belle is at a normal/lean body condition or if she is a bit overweight or thin. If she is a bit overweight (does not have a noticeable waist from the top view or side view), 2 cups per day would probably be appropriate (2 3/4 cups is recommended on the bag for a 30 lb beagle with a normal activity level). It is best to gradually adjust the food ration based on body condition scoring over the course of several weeks. Different diets have different caloric densities so it is generally best to gauge the appropriate amount to feed based on body condition scoring . Good luck!
