How to feed Doberman puppies:

1. From the time of weaning to the age of twelve weeks, they should be fed four times a day. Its breakfast and lunch should include the right amount of puppy nutritional supplements, add a cup of hot water or broth, and mix with a quarter pound of fresh beef or a quarter of canned beef. This amount is only an approximate feeding amount, you can add a little more beef and less nutritional supplements. In the evening and before going to bed, a 1:1 mixture of distilled milk and warm water should be fed.

2. When the puppies grow up gradually, during the period of three months to six months, change the number of feedings to three times a day, and change two times of milk to one time of meat and nutritional supplements. If your puppy happily licks the dish clean and doesn't gain too much weight, then you know you're getting the right amount. If he starts to look chubby, cut back on some food; you don't want your dog to be too fat. At the same time: Excessive weight will overload the limbs and muscles of the dog, which will cause sagging stripes, so it is necessary to avoid overfeeding.

3. If the puppy has eaten all the food, but still looks very thin, it needs to increase the feeding amount, and the puppy may not have received enough nutrition. After the puppy is six months old, it can be fed once a day plus a snack, or once in the morning and evening. If you only feed once a day, the main meal should be in the early afternoon.
