| Best time to start solid food? Lucy's pups are 4 weeks old today and they act like they are starving. They were sucking on hard food today after Lucy dumped the bowl. I have started putting them on the nutrical. Is it alright to put some of it over the hard food to soften it for them? They still have no teeth but, they have the start of the nubs. |

| At about 4 weeks I started crushing hard food with a rolling pin, then added esbilac to it to soften if. They loved it and eventually I lewft out more and more of the esbilac. I now feed them homecooked at 5 1/2 months. Sonya

| I agree. Human baby rice is very gentle on the tummy.
