Answers
It depends on breed, age and food. Use the label guide as a starting point and ask your vet to check body condition.
As a general guide: three to four meals a day at 8 to 12 weeks, three meals from 3 to 6 months, and two meals from about 6 months. Follow the food label and your vet.
Often around 12 months for small and medium breeds, and later for large and giant breeds. Ask your vet before switching and change foods gradually over 7 to 10 days.
