Depending upon the breed and size of your dog, it is recommendedthat you feed your dog puppy food until approx 1 year of age, large breed dogs should actually be fed adult food starting around 9 months of age to decrease the risk of growing too fast and having osteo problems.
For most breeds, offer food twice a day for 20 minutes. If your puppy does not eat in that 20 minutes, remove the food and wait to feed the evening meal. Your puppy will quickly learn that food is not always available and he will eat when it is offered. For toy breeds, food should be offered three times a day.
