How To Feed A Puppy In South Africa?

From when you bring your puppy home at eight weeks until they are four months old, it’s best to feed them four meals a day.

At four months, reduce this to three meals a day and when they turn six months, reduce to two meals. Continue a morning and evening meal for your pup’s life.

What should puppies first eat?

At four weeks, all the puppies should be able to walk, run, and play. Puppies should begin eating solid food at about 3.5 to 4.5 weeks of age.

Initially, make gruel by mixing a milk replacer with a small amount of puppy food soaked in water; place this mixture in a flat saucer.

What food should I introduce to my puppy?

Puppies are omnivores and can eat a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods. It’s also important that your little one receives proper nutrition to grow into a healthy and happy adult dog.

You can start by feeding them home-made foods and then eventually turn to nutritious puppy food (kibble).
