{"title":"How much does a puppy eat?","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHow Much Does a Puppy Eat?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nIt’s common for your puppy to beg for more kibble or treats than intended; every dog owner experiences this at some point. However, the right amount is more important than you might think; make sure you know the answer to the question ‘\u003cstrong\u003ehow much does a puppy eat\u003c\/strong\u003e’?\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePay Attention to the Right Amount\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nGiving too little or too much kibble can cause health problems. Too little food can lead to weak bones, a dull coat, low energy, and limited growth. On the other hand, too much food can cause issues like growing pains and skeletal abnormalities.\n\nTo find out how much a puppy should eat, check the feeding chart on every package, which is based on your puppy’s adult weight and age.\n\nBelow, we distinguish between weight classes:\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSmall breeds -\u003e adult weight between 1 and 10 kilos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eMedium breeds -\u003e adult weight between 10 and 25 kilos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eLarge breeds -\u003e adult weight between 25 and 45 kilos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eGiant breeds -\u003e adult weight over 45 kilos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Much Does a Small Breed Puppy Eat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nThe more your little friend grows, the more kibble he needs.

After these 24 weeks, divide the required amount over two to three meals per day.\n\nTip: always give meals at a fixed time; this creates more regularity.\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEnsure Calmness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nAs cozy as it may be, try to keep your puppy away from other animals and playing children during mealtime. If you don’t, your energetic pup may develop food aggression. Also, your puppy might start eating too quickly out of fear that another dog or cat will take their kibble.\n\nFurthermore, we advise against taking your little friend out for a walk during the first hour—ideally even the first two hours—after eating. Playing is also off-limits during the first hour. This helps prevent gastric torsion; so keep this in mind.\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Extensive Range of Prima Diervoeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\nNow that you know how much a puppy eats and the allowed amount, it’s time to shop!\n\nYou can find Prima Diervoeding’s range in supermarkets and the online webshop; from the tastiest puppy kibbles to adult dog food, including \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/primadiervoeding.nl\/collections\/honden-brokken\"\u003ekibbles\u003c\/a\u003e, wet food, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/primadiervoeding.nl\/collections\/hondenworsten\"\u003esausages\u003c\/a\u003e, supplements, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/primadiervoeding.nl\/collections\/gedroogde-hondensnacks\"\u003edried snacks\u003c\/a\u003e.","products":[{"product_id":"primadog-hondenvoer-puppy-kip-aardappel-10-kg-puppybrokken","title":"PrimaDog dog food puppy chicken \u0026 potato 10 kilos - puppy kibble","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimaDog Puppy Dog Food Chicken \u0026 Potato 10 Kilograms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to give your pup a flying start?
