With a puppy this young, feeding 3 times a day or even 4 small meals is fine. When dogs are older, we usually switch to two meals a day for convenience sake but the number of meals per day is less important than the total amount per day he is getting (i.e. if they are getting 2 cups total per day, it doesn't matter if you are giving 1 cup twice a day or 1/2 a cup four times a day as long as the total volume is the same). In puppies, they are energetic and often need to eat more frequently, so you can split his meals into smaller portions and give more often!
