How much should a 3-pound chihuahua puppy eat per feeding? How many times should I feed it a day?

Answer by  rvan73 (68)

Feed puppies three to four times daily. Most dog foods provide a feeding guide; otherwise, consult a veterinarian to determine the appropriate portion sizes for maintaining your dog's ideal weight.

This depends on the type and quality of the food it is given. If you are giving it a high quality dry food, it should generally eat between 1/4 to 1 cup per feeding. If you are feeding it wet food, you should give it about 4 ounces per feeding. Puppies should be fed at pre-established hours 3 times daily.

When your dog is at the puppy stage you need to feed it three balanced meals a day. Let her eat dry dog food whenever she wants.
