Question
My dashund is 3.5 months old, what and how much should be her ideal feeding?

Answer
Your dachshund puppy's breeder is your best reference for your questions. He/she will know exactly how much you should be feeding your puppy for her size (standard or miniature) and age. A larger puppy is obviously going to eat more than a smaller one. My schnauzer puppies at that age are eating about 3/4 to one cup of food twice a day.

You should initially continue to feed whatever the breeder was feeding, and then if you want to change the food, do it gradually over several days. I highly recommend one of the Eagle products (which I have fed for over 25 years), Canidae, Flint River Ranch, Solid Gold, Wellness, Natural Balance, or other similar high-quality products.
