just wondering if it is healthy to change feeding times for puppies. I am currently feeding my 3 month pup twice a day at 630am and 530pm (approx).
Schedules/life changes and was planning to change his feeding time to 3 a day at 630am/1pm/and 8pm...will this wreak havac on his digestive system?

I would have been feeding him 3 times a day from weaning to about 6 months. It does'nt really matter, as long as the dog is'nt getting fat, which most puppies don't as long as you stick close to the daily food guide. If you are adding extras, just make sure they are not high in fat at all.
He sure is cute!

Just remember, you are feeding him slightly smaller amounts, and the last feeding should be well before bedtime...I'm sure you have it worked out so there are no nasty surprises!
Good luck.
