How much and how often to feed a 5-week-old Miniature Schnauzer puppy?

Question

I'd like to know the amount of puppy dry food ( hills science diet) mixed with water I should give to a miniature schnauzer at 5 weeks old. She weighs 785gr. And how many times per day. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 7 days old

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!
