VinnyGuide
Puppy feeding schedule
Four meals under about four months, three until about six, then two. Vinny puts those meals on today. Cup amounts still belong to the bag and your vet.
Cadence by age
- Under ~4 months: four meals.
- ~4 to 6 months: three meals.
- After that: two, unless your vet keeps a slower step-down.
Large and giant breeds often grow on a longer runway — see German Shepherd or other large-breed pages. We are not a vet; growth that looks off is a clinic question.
Meals drive potty
Out after they eat. The interval is age, then your log — how we time outs. A skipped meal plus a long crate nap is how accidents show up at 3pm.
What Vinny does not decide
Calories, brand, and raw-vs-kibble arguments. The food label and a veterinarian own amount. Vinny names when today’s meals sit on the care plan so you are not guessing the clock.
Tiny bodies, tighter clocks
Toy breeds can drop blood sugar if meals stretch too far. A Yorkie puppy is not a Labrador on a diet delay. Tell Vinny the breed; Today keeps the meal count honest for this age.
