hey guys what's up i'm dr lindsay
welcome back to my channel
and today i'm going to teach you guys
how much to feed
your new puppy
today i'm here with luke who's a six
month old aussie doodle
and i'm going to show you guys how much
he eats on a daily basis
but in this video i'm really going to
focus on that new puppy that you're
bringing home and how much you should be
feeding it so i have all these bowls
here
to show you guys that you need to feed
your new eight week old puppy
three times a day so a lot of places
will sell you a puppy like from a pet
store
and tell you to feed them twice a day
but that is really not right
a puppy that's eight weeks old to about
four months old needs to be fed
three times a day they are growing
little babies
so if you have a job where you're super
busy or you can't get home in the middle
of the day to feed them and give them
water
please make sure you have family support
or friend support to help you feed your
new baby
all right guys so let's play puppy
chef right now so i'm going
to open this bag of dog food here
and give you guys a dog breed
and we're going to make food for that
puppy
all right so i'm going to go ahead and
open this science
diet puppy food
and this comes in a pretty small kibble
that you can use for all the breeds i'm
gonna
mention okay before i get started
we need to know our cups because this is
like a huge
solo cup so that is a lot more food
than a measured out cup so this is truly
one cup
and then this is probably like two and a
half or even three cups
so if you look at them together you see
the size difference
so you need to make sure you're
measuring with one cup
okay so let's see the first puppy we're
gonna feed
is a maltese puppy that is three pounds
and you just pick that puppy up from the
breeder and you got home
and you need to feed that puppy so i'm
gonna look at the bag
and it shows that a three pound puppy
gets about one cup of food so one and a
half to one cup of food
throughout the day so i'm gonna
go in this bag and fill up
one cup of food all right
so that's what our whole cup of food
looks like to feed this puppy today
so i have my bowls ready to show you how
much food this puppy will get
three times a day so i'm just gonna
sprinkle some food in there
sprinkle some food in here put a little
food in this bowl
it's a little weird looking bowl
compared to the other ones
okay so there we go i doled it all out
looks pretty even and then
i like to mix wet food into the puppy
food
in case the puppies like eating wet food
um
so i'll show you that at the end how i
mix in the wet food into their dry food
so this is all the hard food kibble that
you'll feed that maltese
today but sometimes i like to mix in
some puppy wet food
just in case the puppy prefers eating
this over the kibble
so i like to offer them both okay
so for your second puppy that's a
medium-sized puppy
you're gonna bring home a corgi that's
eight weeks old and weighs
about seven to ten pounds so if we refer
to our chart
on the bag it says a ten pound puppy
will eat about one and three fourths cup
of food a day
so that is just under two cups of puppy
food
so i'm gonna take my one cup measuring
cup
and dole out the food
into the bowls so as you can see
i have a little bit bigger bowl sizes
so i'll put about 3 4 cup in there
and then fill the rest
of the other cups so here's about my
second cup of puppy food
and the rest for dinner so
that's about as much puppy food that
your new corgi
is going to want to eat all right so for
our last puppy it's going to be a large
breed puppy so let's say you got
a rottweiler puppy and maybe you also
got a great dane puppy because you're
that crazy and that is something i would
do
so a rottweiler puppy at eight weeks old
will be around i would say
15 pounds so maybe eight or nine weeks
old they'll be around 15 pounds
and then a great dane puppy could be
around the same weight too
so let's look at 15 pounds
so we'll go to 10 to 20 pounds in
between here
so that can be about two to three cups
of puppy food
so let's do two and a half cups and i'll
dole that out into these big bowls
and just get big bowls to start with
because those puppies
will quickly grow into them all right so
let's get
all this puppy food so we'll do about
one cup there
[Applause]
like a little less than a cup for lunch
and then a little less than a cup for
dinner
all right so that's how much food you
can offer
your 15 pound puppy okay guys so i hope
this gave you a great visual
of how much food to feed your new puppy
so
this is how much food you'll feed them
until they're about four months old
and spread it out three times a day once
your puppy gets bigger
like luke who's around six months old
you can scale back their feedings to
about twice a day
and then use that chart to go over how
much to feed them
depending on their weight for the people
who bought a toy breed puppy like a
maltese
or a yorkie or a toy poodle i want to
add that you need to supplement them
with some sort of sugar
about two to four times a day because
these puppies can get hypoglycemic which
is low blood sugar
and have sugar crashes and some of them
can have seizures and they can
die so i care about your new puppy so i
want to talk to you guys about nutracal
which is an amazing supplement
i'm not sponsored by this supplement at
all but hey maybe one day
but i just wanted to let you know to go
to your vet or a pet store
and pick this up if you're getting a
very tiny puppy
and to start supplementing them with
this and that's going to make your life
a whole lot easier
so nutrical is a sugar supplement with
vitamins and minerals
so i recommend putting a glob size on
your finger
or you could put some on top of the
puppy food and see if your puppy just
comes up and eats it
too much is not gonna hurt them
obviously don't feed them the whole tube
use common sense
um but i put it on my finger um a good
size blob and then i will open their
mouth
and put it on the roof of their mouth
just scrape it up there and the puppies
normally
just swallow it some puppies will just
lick this right off my finger
because it's sugar so who doesn't like
sugar
all right so luke is six months old so
he eats twice a day
and i have prepared two cups of hard
food for him to have right now so
on the chart it says that he gets about
four cups a day
so he gets two cups for breakfast and
then two cups for dinner
so while luke is eating his food i'm
going to show you guys
how i mix the wet food in with the dry
food
and be a doggy chef right now for you
guys
you're gonna see me next on doggie
chopped
dr lindsay preparing gourmet meals for
dogs
here we go so
you take off that can cap so i have
about a cup of food in here
and luke gets
two cups so i'm gonna put his two cups
in here
and then i'm just gonna add in some of
this wet food
so i'll probably do like one-fourth of a
can
so you just go ahead and use a spoon
and put that wet food in there like that
and then i just break it up in there and
dogs
really love this so if you want to spoil
your dogs like i do
you can mix in some wet food with their
dry food dinner is
served luke you want more food oh gosh
luke is getting spoiled today look at
him go
and just devour it he loves this
so as you can see luke is trying to pick
out the wet chunks of food from the bowl
because that stuff is really delicious
for them of course i haven't tried the
dog wet food maybe one day
but they sometimes try to eat around the
hard food and just eat the wet food
so it's up to you if you want to feed
your dog's wet food like i said i feed
him that
um and my dogs really enjoy it good boy
