Pitbull Puppy Feeding Guidelines

1. Daily Food Amounts:
   • 8 to 12 weeks old:
     • Feed approximately 1 to 1.5 cups of high-quality puppy food per day, divided into 4 meals.
   • 3 to 6 months old:
     • Feed approximately 1.5 to 2 cups of puppy food per day, divided into 3 meals.
   • 6 to 12 months old:
     • Feed approximately 2 to 3 cups of puppy food per day, divided into 2 meals.
2. Caloric Needs:
   • Pitbull puppies typically require about 500 to 700 calories per day, depending on their size and activity level.
3. Type of Food:
   • Choose high-quality puppy food that contains 22% to 32% protein from real meat sources (e.g., chicken, beef, turkey) as the first ingredient.
   • Ensure the food is formulated specifically for puppies to meet their nutritional requirements.
4. Monitoring Weight and Health:
   • Regularly check your puppy's weight and adjust food portions as necessary. Look for a healthy body condition—ribs should be easily felt but not visible.
5. Treats:
   • Limit treats to no more than 10% of their daily caloric intake, ensuring they do not exceed their nutritional needs.
6. Hydration:
   • Always provide fresh water, ensuring your puppy stays hydrated throughout the day.
