How old is the pup? We were feeding our lab pups every three to four hours for the first two weeks and every six untill they started eating soft food and then we switched to twice a day. Hope that helps. We also made our formula to keep the cost down.

you have to weight the pups and feed them to their weight ---the best way I have found to feed pups is TUBE FEED them-- you can feed [10] pups in less than ten minutes-- get the VET to show you how ---good luck
