Just found a stray puppy! What food should I feed and how often?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

We found a puppy out in the street, we’re not quite sure how old she is but she seems about a month. I was wondering until we can decide what we can do with her what kind of food should we be feeding her and how often? We would really appreciate your help!

I would recommend to feed Royal Canin Puppy food. Its an easy to digest food that should be less likely to cause upset stomach. Wash her and make sure to pick off any fleas you see. If you decide to keep her, take her into a vet as soon as you can to get a deworming done and start vaccines if she is old enough. The doctor can also estimate her age. I hope this helps!
