| When should I start my puppies on dog food? I have 4-3week old pups and was wondering when I should start them on gruel? Some articles I have read said 3 weeks and others said not too early. They are just starting to walk. Do I have to buy the milk replacement to mix in the dry food, or just use water??? |

| Puppies usually start drinking water and tasting food around 4 wks of age. I add milk replacer and water into my food for them. It is also good for the Momma. Actually I start feeding this to the Momma everyday when she starts showing. So it is natural that the pups try it. I feed it one a day. with the dry feed there all of the time.
