Hi Everyone,
I've been reading through threads regarding feeding a puppy and I just have some questions because some of the info is conflicting.
Some say to make sure to have food down for the puppy all the time while some say feed 2-3x a day, is there a preference over one or the other?
Also how much do I feed the puppy each day if I were to only give her food at fixed times during the day? I think I recall some of the threads saying put food down for 15 minutes and let her eat as much as she can and take it away but some other threads say to give her a fixed amount.
If I chose to feed at fixed intervals throughout the day, I've also been reading about hypoglycemia, how will this affect her since some threads say to make sure the puppy is getting enough food because of the hypoglycemia.
I'm leaning towards feeding at fixed intervals because I have a cat who we feed once in the morning and once at night and I think he would try and eat the puppy food if it was out all the time. I'm just concerned that feeding at fixed intervals might affect the puppy's health and growth because of things like hypoglycemia and everything.
Also, how do treats and fruit and veggies factor into their diets? I don't want to overfeed her but I definitely don't want to underfeed her either.
Any advice or suggestions or just what you did with your puppy would help a lot!
