Moniker 11-26-2008, 07:21 PM Young pups do best on three meals a day, cutting back to two at six months or so. Do not let him graze. Labman 11-26-2008, 07:53 PM Grazing, or free feeding may work with some dogs, but I would never try it with a Lab pup. Start with 3 meals a day, cutting back to 2 at 3 months and one at 6 months. actually my Tux came to us at 9 weeks eating 2 meals a day. thatlilred 11-28-2008, 09:37 AM How often and when should I feed my new pup, or should I just leave the bowl out and let him graze??? Hi! Congrats on your new pup! I am a firm believer of feeding on a schedule and not leaving bowl down throughout the day. I feed in the morning ( breakfast) and at supper time. When Raja was younger I fed at noon also. Feeding this way will help with housebreaking- as eating on a schedule naturally creates pooping regularity. Free grazing can lead to irregular bowel movements and over eating... Have fun! |
