How much dry food should I feed my 6-month-old Lhasa Apso puppy?

At 4 weeks, you can feed a gruel or slurry consisting of a mix of a good quality puppy food and an appropriate puppy milk replacer such as Esbilac or PetLac. Feed small amounts 4-5 times daily. Over the coming weeks, gradually decrease the amount of liquid until she is eating puppy food only by 8 weeks of age.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This will change and increase as he continues to grow. What I recommend is that you follow the feeding instructions in the bag of the food you are feeding Simba. The reason is that every diet has a different caloric content. Also, you will see that the amount will increase until he becomes 10-12 months old as his weight will continue to increase with his growth. Have a good day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This would be calculated based on Xena's weight which I do not know. However, because her weight will be changing continuously as she grows. The best way to know the amount of food to be fed is following the recommendations found in the back of the bag or their website based on the age and weight at each time. Good luck and have a great day!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Smokey. The average American dog is quite overweight. So if you have one at a healthy weight, it will usually look too thin. You want a thin covering over the ribs when you run your hands along his sides. He should have a waist the curves in from the top and size views. There is a one through nine scale of body condition scores. A healthy weight is a four or five. Every dog food contains a different amount of calories per cup. At six months of age, he should still eat puppy food. Look at the side of the food bag for feeding recommendations. Keep in mind, these are typically too high for most dogs. His weight looks great in your picture, but it obviously hard to tell for sure. Your current feeding amount is likely adequate.

As a young Shih Tzu puppy, I'm assuming that Luna is under 3 pounds. Based upon that estimated body weight and her age, the chart recommends feeding 1/4-3/4 cups per day, divided into smaller meals. Small breed puppies really need to eat 3-4 times per day, if possible, because they can easily develop hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if they do not eat frequently, which can lead to extreme weakness and seizures in severe cases. Try to feed Luna in the morning, when you get home from work, and again at bedtime, giving her about 1/8 cup per meal. If possible, try to look for a dog walker, pet sitter, or neighbor to feed her and let her outside midday. I hope that all goes well!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Hiro. What a cutie! First, make sure that you are feeding him puppy food. Then I would start with what your dog food recommends for his weight. Each food varies in the amount of calories per cup so the feeding amounts will vary. He will roughly need about 1/4-1/2 cup per day. Because he is so small, it is important to have food available to him at all times. Very small puppies can have difficulty regulating their blood sugar levels. Their blood sugar can drop too low if they go too long without food. I hope this information helps!

I usually use the rule of thumb of 1 cup per 20 pounds (~9kg). But with puppies, if they are really active and thin then they may need more. Some puppies are nibblers and don't want to eat that much and that is ok as long as he is eating, growing properly, and not too thin. I hope this helps!
