How many times and what weight should my maltese puppy eat in a day, because he is always hungry?

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.

Hi there. This will depend on the puppy's size, age, activity level, and what kind of food you're feeding. I would recommend following the feeding guidelines on the puppy food you're using - the package should have a chart showing how much to feed per day, based on the size of your puppy.

Hi there and thank you for your question. First, to answer your question about feeding two or three times daily. Over the years in my practice I have seen many puppies fed both ways. And these puppies look and act healthy and happy. As long as the owners are feeding the same total daily amount required to maintain healthy weight, You can feed either two or three times daily based on your schedule and what is convenient to you. Second, to answer your question about how much to feed. I try and keep this answer as simple as possible. During the first year that they are a puppy, I recommend weighing them each week on an accurate scale. After you obtain their weight and you feel as if their body condition score is ideal, please look on the back of your bag of food and feed the amount of food they recommend for that age and that weight of your animal. It’s just that easy. Once they reach adulthood, you do not need to weigh them nearly as frequently. Lastly, I cannot give you an accurate answer as to when to re-order the bag but you should have a real good idea once you start utilizing the method that I have recommended above. I hope this has helped you. Have a great day.
