Congratulations on adding Snoopy to your family! I would recommend to feed him 3 times a day and I would not recommend to feed him milk. He is weaned at this age so it will only upset his tummy. When he is 16 weeks old, you can switch him to twice daily feedings. Feed him a high quality puppy food such as Royal Canin or Purina ProPlan. Please post again with any further questions!
