Pharaoh Hound Puppy Feeding Schedule
Age-by-age feeding guide for Pharaoh Hound puppies — from 8 weeks to adulthood
A Pharaoh Hound puppy grows from a tiny bundle to a 45-55 lb adult dog in roughly one year, making their first 12 months the most nutritionally demanding period of their life. During this time, your puppy needs the right balance of protein for muscle development, fat for energy and brain growth, and carefully controlled minerals for bone formation. Getting the feeding amounts right at each stage ensures healthy development without the problems that come from under- or overfeeding.
