    Hi all!

    I was just looking for a little bit of advice..again! ;D

    So Ollie is 12 weeks next wednesday and we are currently still feeding him the 4 times a day that was started by his breeder. However, they advised us that at 12 weeks we could go down to 3 feeds a day which seems MUCH more practical. Im just wondering if this is the right thing to do and how much I should feed him now?

    He has been stretched out a few odd days to wait 6 hours instead of 4 and he seemed to be completely fine with it so im thinking it could be the right time but I dont want to upset him or make the poor boy starve! (im a typical puppy mum..I worry about literally everything :p) Should I go down to 3 feeds but give him a little more food?

    Any help or advice would be great

    Yes, most pups go down to three meals per day at between three and four months, its fine, then at about six months, gradually cut the lunchtime meal down until its non exsistant so that you are then feeding twice a day for life . Yes, add just a little more food to each of the three meals and dont worry , Ollie wont starve :)

    Puzzle was on 3 meals a day when we got her at 9 weeks old, so i can't really help you with moving down to 3 meals a day
