How much and how often should I feed my 3-month-old Great Dane 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.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Oh my Rogue is SO cute!! This is a hard question to answer because it all depends on the food you are feeding and the calories per cup and how Rogue grows. For a Great Dane I recommend a large breed puppy food and using the bag's recommendations for his weight to start. If he is too thin, increase the volume fed and if he is too heavy decrease it. I don't think a simple rule of increase by a cup per month is very accurate. It should be based on his weight, how he is growing and is body condition. It is hard to make a puppy fat and most owners do a good job without too much stress. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best!

What a gorgeous pup! Great Dane puppies have a massive requirement for nutrients so I recommend investing in feeding a really good quality food for giant breed puppies. Royal canin does a really good puppy food which I trust for my own dogs. Don't listen to things like not feeding puppy food, there is no evidence for that. It is actually really important to feed puppy food because a puppy has different needs to an adult. Energy level has more to do with the carbohydrate in the feed rather than protein.

Great question! Luna should be fed three times a day, morning, afternoon, and evening. Take the daily allotment recommended on her food bag, and divide it into three equal portions. When she is six months old, she can be fed twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

I would recommend using a large breed puppy food. This type of diet will have the specific balance of minerals and vitamins needed for young, growing puppies. Since Danes are a giant breed, their nutrional needs are different than your typical puppy. Some of the brands I usually recommend include Hills, Purina, Royal Canin, Eukanuba, and Iams. Good luck with your pups!

Ideally he should be fed three times daily up to six months with a good quality commercial diet, which provides a nutritionally balanced diet. Royal Canin and Hills both provide good quality food. After six months feed can be decreased to 2 times daily.

Great question! If your GSD is less than six months old, she should be getting fed three times a day. Once in the morning, once at lunch, and once in the evening. I would feed her according to the package instructions, and divide the daily allotment into three equal servings. Once she is six months old, she can be fed twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening).
