number of meals

I got a 10 week old boxer, and I know I am supposed to feed him 3 times a day... how long do I do that? What age do i switch to two meals a day?

Our boxer is 13 weeks today and she's actually starting to wean herself off of her midday meal. I go home at lunch to feed her and for the past few days she hasn't wanted to eat as much as she has been. So we are going to cut down on the amount we give her at lunch and then let her wean herself off of that as well.

Ten weeks of age is still just a little baby and I'd be giving three or four meals a day, plus some sort of late night snack. With mine, the late night snack is usually some sort of puppy formula and cereal. That can be gradually condensed into two main meals, as the pup is able to eat more at a sitting, and lunch can become just a snack.

My youngest pup is six months now, and I don't feed lunch any more - so he's getting fed in the mornings, again around five in the evening, plus his late night snack (which is now sometimes leftover veges).

My girls are 3 and 4 years old and I still feed them 3 times a day and a small "snack" before bedtime.
