ular feeding schedule. Until he
is three months old the puppy
should be fed four times a day
From three to six months old the
latest feeding can be stopped
From six months to a year the
puppy will thrive on only two
meals day, morning and even
ing After he Is year old one
meal a day is sufficient. This is
usually given IN the evening. If
the dog is light eater little
breakfast can also be given him.
When the number of meals are
cut down the amount should be
increased proportionately.
Additional vitamins. especially
A ana D, may be required during
the puppy's early life. 1t will be
well to add COD liver oil with
viosterol to one of the feelings
until the puppy is about one year
old.
Don't leave food standing and
have fresh water available for
him at all times.
Raising a puppy isn't all peach
es and cream. but the results are
well worth the effort il you will
practice patience.
