Feeding a Rottweiler Puppy – Schedule, Quantities and More
Rottweilers are known for their love of bones. They will eat anything they can get their paws on, including human flesh! A good rule of thumb when it comes to feeding your dog is to provide them with bone once or twice per week. You may have heard that puppies need bones more than adult dogs do; however, this isn’t necessarily true. Some breeds of dogs (such as Great Danes) will require more frequent meals of bone.
If you’re planning on raising a puppy, then it’s best to start off with small amounts of meat and bones. Once your pup reaches its full size, you’ll want to increase the amount of meat and bones that it receives each day until it becomes a well-fed dog.
The following table lists some typical rottweiler meal times:
