Puppy Feeding Schedule Generator – Meal Schedule & Portion Calculator
Use our free puppy feeding schedule generator to create a personalized meal schedule for your puppy. Our puppy meal schedule generator calculates meal times, portion sizes, and feeding recommendations based on age, breed size, and weight.
How Puppy Feeding Schedule Generator Works
Our puppy feeding schedule generator creates personalized meal schedules based on your puppy's age, breed size, and weight. The tool calculates the appropriate number of meals per day (younger puppies need more frequent meals), determines daily calorie needs using RER and DER formulas, and divides portions across meals with recommended meal times.
Understanding Puppy Feeding Schedules
Puppy feeding frequency changes with age: very young puppies (under 8 weeks) need 4 meals per day, puppies 8-16 weeks need 3 meals per day, and older puppies (6+ months) can transition to 2 meals per day. The generator accounts for breed size, as large breed puppies have different growth requirements than small breed puppies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I feed my puppy?

How much should I feed my puppy?
Puppy food portions depend on age, weight, and breed size. Puppies need 2-3 times more calories per pound than adult dogs for growth. Use our calculator to determine the exact daily calories and portion sizes based on your puppy's specific needs.
When should I transition my puppy to adult food?
Transition timing depends on breed size. Small breeds can transition around 9-12 months, medium breeds around 12-15 months, and large/giant breeds may need puppy food until 18-24 months. Always consult your veterinarian for breed-specific recommendations.
