| Re: When can a puppy get off the moms milk and move on to puppy food???
Hello.:)
The pups can start eating softened puppy food now that they're about four weeks old. You can either start with mixing warm water or canned puppy formula found at places like petsmart with rice infant cereal for the first few days until they get used to the taste of solid foods and then switch to grinding puppy food in a blender with warm water until the food is softened and pour this mixture into a pan for them to lap up. When they're about six weeks old you can start adding less water to the food. You might need to put a dab of the food mixture on their noses at first and they'll lick it off realizing it's food.:) |
