Dogs at different ages have different feeding times and different eating habits. Puppies before 3 months old should be fed four or five times a day with soaked puppy food. Puppies between 3 and 8 months old should be fed dry and hard puppy food three times a day. Dogs after 8 months old are fed twice a day and start eating adult dog food. As dogs age, they need to increase the frequency of feeding appropriately.

Notes on dog feeding:

1. Regular and quantitative feeding. The time and portion of the dog's feeding should be fixed every day. The purpose of this is to enable the dog to form regular conditioned reflexes, promote the regular activity of the digestive glands, and enable the dog's digestive system to work and rest regularly and systematically.

2. Don’t feed thin bones to dogs, as they can easily hurt the dog’s esophagus and intestines.

3. Do not give cat food to dogs. Dogs eating cat food may cause nutritional imbalance. Cat food contains high taurine, and dogs eating too much may cause poisoning.
