Month 3-5
They’re ready for dry food now. Stick to 3 meals daily.
First month
Feed mushy puppy food, 4 meals a day. Mix kibble with warm water, wait until it softens, and mash it up. Cool it down before serving and gradually use less water.
Second month
Mother’s milk provides all the nutrition the puppy needs
Key ideas
Puppies grow fast, and their diet needs to keep up! Puppy food contains just the right mix of nutrients and calories to help puppies grow into happy, healthy adults.
Smaller breeds may switch from puppy food to adult food sooner (9-12 months old), but larger breeds might need to do the switch at 12-24 months old. Just double-check with your vet to get it right.

Tips
- Check your puppy food’s label to see how much your buddy needs each day based on their weight. Split it by the number of meals.
- Weighing them is simple—first, you, then with your pup. Subtract to find their weight.
- Here’s an example: If you weigh 140 pounds alone and 145 pounds with your pup, then your pup weighs 5 pounds (145 minus 140).
- Never add cow milk to your dog’s food because dairy gives them diarrhea.
- Lots of fresh water is a must—keep the water bowl clean and filled.
- Mealtime might get messy as they learn. No stress! Just wipe them down and they’ll learn.
There you go! Keep these in mind, and you're all set to keep your pup growing strong and healthy!

Puppies 8 months old or younger can hold their pee for as many hours as their age in months.
So if your puppy is 2 months old, they can hold their pee for about 2 hours at the most. Take a 2-month-old puppy outside at least every 2 hours, after they wake up, after they eat and before their bedtime.
If your puppy is 5 months old, they’ll need a bathroom break at least every how many hours?
