Lhasa Apso Forum:
feeding

I have a new Lhasa Apso puppy...I would like some information on what and how much and how often to feed him...I was told once a day...but that doesnt sound right...and about training him to go outside....so far we run him outside the second he wakes up and he urinates outside,he has done it inside once,not too happy about that...

I would appreciate any help....

I recommend free feeding, where the pup can get to its food at any time. As it gets older you can decrease the amount. I recommend a quality meat based puppy/dog food. The labels on dog food reads the same as human food and if meat is not the first ingredient I dont recommend it, ever see a dog grazing in a corn patch? It sounds like you are on the right path in house training him, you may want to try to crate training if you have any more problems.

I raise lhasas and recommend feeding three times a day.Depending on size of puppy and age amount differs.Try recommended amount on bag of food and see if pup gains well but not get fat.Scheduled feeding makes training easier.Let out when pup gets up, after eating and generally I say every hour or if pup indicates by sniffing around and circling.It can take several months to fully housebreak.
