My 3-month puppy won't eat 3 times a day. Can I feed him twice?

Question

My puppy is now around 3 months old. I am giving him 100 gms of royal canin giant puppy dry food with 250 gms of boiled beef mince (sometimes half beef and half boiled rice). I also give him multivitamins and minerals prescribed for puppies as trests. I observed that he has not enough epitite to consume his food 3 times a day. Can i give him food twice a day without reducing his total required food rather than 3 times a day? Or whatever you suggest for him.

I would recommend feeding3-4 times a day at this age, if his appetite is poor then he will not be able to consume enough nutrition in two large meals. I do not recommend home preparing diets, especially in large and giant breed puppies with a risk of joint and bone disorders developing as they mature due to nutrient deficiencies and or excesses. It is practically impossible to mix some added protein and supplements to a high quality pupy food and expect the diet to become balanced. Consult a specialist nutritionist for specific tailored large breed puppy diets if you wish to cook for Dante
