How to feed a wolf in Minecraft?
You can easily feed the wolf by right clicking on it with the food. However, there are certain conditions that you must meet. You can only feed an untamed wolf or one that is injured.

It’s best to remember you can’t feed the wolf any kind of fish in java edition. However, the Bedrock Edition allows you to do this. Additionally, wolves suffer no effects from eating raw meat, rotting flesh, or puffer fish.
Since wolves do not have a visible health bar, their health points are indicated by the position of their tail. The lower their tail, the less heart they have. So keep an eye on how their tails look as they can die if you don’t feed them after being injured.
Additionally, untamed wolves have a slightly lower hit point than tamed wolves. So you can easily spot an untamed wolf by looking at its tail.
