How much and what should I feed my 6-week German Shepherd puppy?

Feed him 4-5 times daily at his age. Puppies need to eat small meals frequently to keep glucose levels stable. As he ages, you can definitely rease the number of feedings until he is eating twice daily at about 1 year old. The brands of food you mentioned are all premium diets and excellent choices for a growing puppy. If the have "large breed" puppy formulas, those would be best to ensure Odin doesn't grow too fast. You can make a slurry or gruel by mixing the Esbilac with the kibble. Decrease the amount of liquid over the next few weeks until he is eating dry food by 8-10 weeks of age. He can begin vaccines at 8 weeks of age though you may want to have him dewormed now and then repeat it in the next several weeks.

Jordan is so cute! At 40 days of age, he can be started on a puppy formulated food. He needs a puppy food because puppies need higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than an adult dog to grow properly. A puppy food will provide this for him. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. He should be fed three times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and evening. On his bag of puppy food, there will be a daily recommended allotment of food, and I would divide that into three equal portions. Once he is six months of age, he can be fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Congratulations on your new puppy! You should feed him 3-4 times a day until he is 4-6 months old. Then he can be fed twice a day. The amount of food to feed him depends on the diet you feed him. Every dog food bag will have instructions on the back and this is a loose guide. You and your veterinarian can adjust the food as needed. Bubba MUST eat a large breed puppy food. The diet I recommend is the Royal Canin German Shepherd Puppy. This diet will allow an even growth and it is highly digestible. German Shepherds can be very sensitive dogs when it comes to food. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Max needs a puppy formulated food only, do not give him any human food. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. He needs plenty of fresh water to drink, do not give him any other liquid than water. Best of luck.

Hi and thanks for your post! Milk mix is really meant for puppies that are under 8 weeks of age that can't eat solid food yet. Shera is old enough now to eat solid food. Shera's weight of 4.5kg is a little over 9 pounds which is okay for a 2 month old. I would follow the feeding instructions on the back of the Royal Canin puppy food package for his age. Don't worry, he will continue put on weight as he grows. A grown male German Shepard should be around 65-75 pounds. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

You should feed him puppy replacer milk until the age of 6-8 months, you can start some wet puppy food as well in about a week from now. he needs to eat 4-6 times a day at the moment. you don't need to give him any supplements as non of those have been proven to prevent hip dysplasia.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Honestly the best thing you can do is feed him a complete healthy balanced already prepared dry diet that contains the right amount of protein. That way you ensure that he is eating the right amount of protein without having the worry about feeding him meat per se. I prefer the Purina Pro Plan and Science Diet foods. Good luck!
