How the generator works

Each age uses the sample day from the matching puppy schedule guide and shifts it to your wake-up time. Breed size adds notes from the feeding guide: large and giant breeds often stay on 3 meals until 12 months and should avoid repetitive high-impact exercise while their growth plates are still open.

Take your puppy out right after waking, after every meal and after play, even if the schedule does not list a break there. Treat the times as a starting point and ask your vet about anything health related.
