While eating once or twice a day may work well for many adult dogs, puppies need to be fed more frequently: perhaps about three to four meals a day on the average. As they reach the age of four or five months, you can reduce feeding to two or three meals per day (depending on the quantity) and as the puppy grows older, the number of meals can be further reduced. You can get a clear breakdown of the appropriate puppy feeding habits from your local Vet.

Always remember, of course, that no matter how many meals a puppy eats in a day, the quantity of food she needs for her age and size does not change; that amount needs to be divided among the number of meals the puppy receives daily.
