How often do you feed them?
What are some good recipes for the pups?
Any other info you'd like to give that would be helpful? |
I start weaning around 4 1/2 weeks, but it's a gradual process, still allowing mom in with them 2x/day, morning and night.
I keep the food out for them all day/night.
Recipes?? I'm simple. I use canned Pedigree with added water, decreasing the water after they learn how to eat it. Then, I graduate them to the Iams Smart Puppy kibbles, moistened with water, of course. By 8 weeks old, they are fully weaned, eating the kibbles dry. Has worked well for me.
Be patient. The whole process takes at least a couple of weeks, usually longer.
