    No, it is not recommended to go one night without feeding a puppy. Puppies require a regular supply of food and nutrients to support their growth and development. Skipping a meal can lead to nutritional deficiencies, low blood sugar, or other health problems in your puppy.


    Puppies have limited stomach capacity and they often need to eat more frequently, especially during their early growth stages. It is generally recommended that puppies be divided into several small portions and fed according to a daily timed feeding schedule. This helps maintain their energy levels and health.


    If you are unable to feed your puppies on time due to special circumstances, such as going out or delaying your trip, you may consider the following points:


    1. Prepare in advance: Prepare the food and water the puppies need in advance to ensure adequate supply.


    2. Automatic feeder or timer: Consider using an automatic feeder or timer device that automatically delivers food at set times.


    3. Seek help: If you are unable to feed your puppy yourself, you can seek help from a reliable family member, friend, or professional pet sitting service to ensure that your puppy is fed properly.


    Remember, your puppy's diet and nutrition are critical to their health and development. Regular, balanced and appropriate feeding is important for the growth and well-being of your puppy.
