Puppy feeding schedule apps, compared

A growing puppy eats three or four times a day, on a schedule that changes every few weeks — and in a house with more than one carer, nobody agrees on whether the last one happened. Here is what a handful of small, independent apps do about it, and where Our Little Paws fits.

A puppy’s feeding schedule changes every few weeks — the exact situation a tracker built for it has to keep up with.

Has the puppy been fed today?

If someone logged it, yes — and you can see who did it and when. A puppy’s feeding window is short and repeats several times a day, which is exactly the number of chances for two people in the house to each assume the other one already fed her.

What a puppy feeding schedule app actually needs to get right

  • A schedule that changes as the puppy grows. Three to four meals a day under twelve weeks, tapering to two or three by six months — a fixed daily reminder stops matching reality within a month.
  • Attribution, not just a log. A tick tells you a meal happened. It doesn’t tell you who fed her, which is the actual question in a multi-carer house.
  • Portion tracking is a bonus, not the point. Some apps chase calories and weight curves; the daily problem is simpler — has anyone fed her yet today.
  • No setup tax. Logging a feed has to be faster than asking whether it happened.

Apps built specifically for a puppy’s feeding schedule

  • Pup to Date — Puppy Schedule — tracks when your puppy was last fed and sets recurring reminders around it; works on iPhone and Apple Watch, and is shareable. Available on the App Store and Google Play.
  • PupSchedule (pupschedule.com) — generates a full puppy schedule (feeding, potty, sleep, vaccines, worming) automatically from her birth date. Free, browser-based — there is no app to install.
  • Pawsly — logs feeding times, portion sizes and food type alongside weight changes, for a growing puppy or an older pet’s diet. Available on Google Play.
  • Dog Assistant (dogassistant.io) — tracks food and potty breaks, built with households that share puppy responsibilities specifically in mind.

Where Our Little Paws differs

It doesn’t calculate a puppy’s feeding schedule for you the way PupSchedule does — you set how often, by age or by habit, and change it as she grows. What it adds instead is attribution: every feeding is tied to a name and a time, the same as every other kind of care the app tracks, so “did anyone feed her yet” never needs asking out loud. Trade-off worth stating plainly: it is a native iPhone app, on the App Store only — not on Android or the web, unlike PupSchedule and several of the apps above.

Quick answers

Frequently asked

Has the puppy been fed today?

If someone logged it, yes — and you can see who did it and when. A puppy eats three or four times a day at first, which is exactly the number of chances for two people to assume the other one already did it.

Is there an app that builds a puppy’s feeding schedule automatically?

Yes — PupSchedule generates a feeding, potty, sleep and worming schedule from your puppy’s birth date, and Pup to Date sets reminders around a schedule you enter. Our Little Paws doesn’t calculate the schedule for you: you set how often, and it tracks who fed her and when, every time.

What’s the best app for tracking who fed the puppy, not just when?

Dog Assistant, DogLog and Our Little Paws all attach a name to each feeding, which matters most in a house with more than one carer. Pawsly and PupSchedule are closer to a personal reminder and portion log than a shared record of who did what.

Does the feeding schedule change as the puppy grows?

Yes — typically three to four meals a day under twelve weeks, tapering to two or three by six months. Our Little Paws lets you change how often any care item repeats at any time, so the schedule can shrink as the puppy does, without starting a new one.
