Great question! At Milo's age, he should be receiving a puppy formulated food only. This is because puppies require higher amounts of calories, protein, and calcium than adult dogs, and a puppy food would give this to him. I recommend feeding him a high quality food, such as Royal Canin or Hills Science diet. At three months of age, he can get fed three times a day (morning, afternoon, and evening), and when he turns six months old, he should be fed twice a day (morning and evening) for the rest of his life.
