How much Royal Canin puppy food should my 9-week-old Maltipoo eat?

I recommend you feed dry food that is made for xtra small dogs like this one from Royal Canin. Yes, you can mix some canned food into it as well. It is best to feed multiple small meals per days with these little micro/mini breeds as they tend to get low blood sugar if they go too long between meals. Small meals 3-4 times per day is best - mostly dry food and just a touch of the wet food. Do this until about 6 months of age then you can go to feeding twice per day. ( ) ( ) Please don't give grain free diets. They are not necessary and there is actually a new study out that has linked grain free diets to heart disease/failure in dogs. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Hi and thank you for using PetCoach! Based on the feeding guide for this food, Dallas currently needs 1 can a day. Therefore, I would feed 13 of a can at each meal. The feeding guide can be found here: https://www.royalcanin.com/products/royal-canin-canine-health-nutrition-puppy-in-gel-canned-dog-food-for-toy-and-small-dogs/4300 Remember, the amount to be fed will change based on his age and weight!

Puppies should be fed 3-4 times a day. As for the amount, feed according to the instructions on the bag of dog food. Space the daily amount out during the day. So for example, if the bag says to feed 3/4 cup of puppy food twice a day, feed him 1/2 a cup three times a day. Smaller meals are easier to digest for the puppy and energy levels don't peak and fall so much with frequent meals. I would recommend feeding your puppy a high quality puppy formulated food, such as Royal Canin or Hills Science diet. Make sure the food is formulated for puppies, as they have higher requires of calories, protein and calcium for growth, and adult dog food will not provide that.

Great question! Kenji needs a puppy formulated food until he is 12 months old, which is when he can be switched to an adult food. This is because puppies require higher amounts of protein, calories, and calcium than adult dogs, and a puppy formulated food will provide that for him. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!

Since the various dog foods differ in ingredients and nutritional value, the best way to find out how much to feed Coco is to look at the label of the bag of food where it should tell you how much to feed him daily Split the daily ration up into two feeds. If the bag's label does not tell you how much to feed, then you should consider changing his food to a good quality dog food for small breeds from a reputable company.

Irati should eat about 1/3-1/2 cup of Science Diet puppy food per day mixed with some water, divided into smaller meals. Since she is still quite young and small, I generally recommend feeding 4-5 times per day. I'm working under the assumption that she is no longer with her mother, and as such is not nursing. If she is still nursing from her mom, she will not need quite as much food. As a future reference, following the chart on the bag of puppy food as Irati grows will be helpful, as you will frequently need to adjust the volume of kibble that she is eating. She should continue eating puppy food until she is 1 year old, after which time she can be transitioned to an adult dog food. Any time you make a chance in her diet, be sure to do so gradually over 5-7 days. I hope this helps!

He is likely being overfed. At this age, most dogs go down to 2 times daily feedings. And a Maltese will consume around 3/4-1 cup total a day until he reaches 1 year of age, then you can usually cut back to 3/4 cup maintenance for him. Best wishes taking care of your puppy and his nutrition.
