How often should I feed meat to my 5-month German Shepherd puppy?

As German Shepherd dogs are very prone to having food sensitivities and also are prone to exocrine pancreas insufficiency you should not feed him any food that is not dogfood, ie human food, treats, etc. The best is to feed specific puppy food for German Shepherd Dogs such as Royal Canin Maxi Puppy Dry Dog Food Royal Canin German Shepherd Puppy Dry Dog Food or similar specific complete puppy foods for large dogs. As for quantities and how often to feed your puppy, , stick to the instructions on the bag as quantities depend on ingredients, weight of puppy and age. I would feed my puppy 3-4 times daily.

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!

You will need to look at the bag's label which gives you a daily amount to feed. Divide this into four portions and feed those over the day. The back of the bag has the amount to feed at the respective weight.

I recommend Purina Pro Plan or Royal Canin, fed twice daily. The side of the bag should offer guidelines on feeding based on weight - but keep in mind these guidelines usually tell you to feed more than the dog needs. An average dog Alexa's size will take about 3 cups daily, divided into two feedings. Adjust that amount based on Alexa's activity level and individual calorie needs. Hope this helps.

Hello. This may be a pretty low quality food. And adding unnecessary supplements may do more harm than good. You are much better off feeding a good quality large breed puppy food such as the ones made by Purina, Science Diet & Royal Canin. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

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.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I recommend feeding Rocky a good dry puppy food (like Science Diet, Purina One, Iams, or Royal Canin). If you do that, eggs won’t be necessary. If you still want to add an egg I would only give one a day. Kisses to Rocky!
