Please be advised that information contained on this website is not professional advice and you should always check with your licensed veterinarian prior to taking any suggestions mentioned.
 
Like humans, dogs need a complete and well balanced diet.  The ideal dog food contains low-fat, high fiber ingredients.  A dog's meal plan should be regulated closely since they seem to have an endless capacity for food.  Feeding twice a day, limited amounts is a good general rule for feeding your dog.  Your veterinarian can recommend the correct , specific amounts for your dog. 
Puppies or dogs less than one year old need extra protein, calcium, and iron for their growing needs.  Since puppies are very active and take frequent naps, they require more nutrition than an older dog.  Feeding your puppy consistently two or three times a day is a good method not only for developing routine eating patterns but for their house training schedule as well. 
Throughout your dog's life their nutritional needs may vary or change.  Keeping a good line of communication open with your veterinarian is a helpful way to safely accommodate your pet's changing dietary needs.
