8 to 12 weeks

  • 4 meals per day.
  • Wet food works well for hydration.
  • Keep fresh water available at all times.

3 to 6 months

  • 3 meals per day.
  • Gradually increase portion sizes as growth speeds up.
  • Introduce a variety of textures to prevent picky eating.

6 to 12 months

  • 2 to 3 meals per day.
  • Transition to adult food around 12 months.
  • Monitor weight to avoid overfeeding.

Always follow the feeding guide on your food label and check in with your vet if weight changes are sudden.
