New Puppy's Appetitie

Q: Our pup is a 9 week old teddy bear and I was wondering if I have to feed her during the night and for how many days, alternatively I could leave the food in the crate during the night, is that good? Tks...

A: if she eats well within an hour of bedtime it is okay to just leave a little food in the cage overnight. If her appetite before bedtime is not particularly good then you should check on her after 4 hours overnight to be sure she eats something to avoid hypoglycemia. Once she has shown that she will eat regularly during the day for 5-7 days in a row then you do not need to worry about the overnight.
