Your dog is a puppy from the time it's a newborn until it's able to reproduce. This happens at different ages, depending on the breed of your dog. Small breeds tend to reach sexual maturity earlier than larger breeds. Weaning. Puppies slowly switch from their mother's milk to eating other foods when they're 3 or 4 weeks old. They should be fully switched over from milk to food by the time they're 7 or 8 weeks old. Feeding. The number of feedings per day changes as your puppy gets older: 2 to 3 months old: 4 times a day 3 to 6 months old: 3 times a day 6 months old to 1 year old (up to 24 months in larger breeds): 2 times a day After age 1, feed your dog once or twice a day.
