They are draining so much calicium from her. As they get older and get their teeth I begin adding kibbles and making the gruel less liquidy...By the time my pups are weaned anywhere between 8 and 10 weeks, they're on puppy kibbles mixed with a bit of wet food, sometimes adding grated cheese, cottage cheese, boiled skinless boneless chicken breast shreds. Sometimes, when I have a pup that is not taking to their food readily, I'll add Parmasean Cheese, don't ask me whey they love the stinky stuff.
Do you feed puppies the canned goat's milk as it is in the can or do you dilute it with water? I have read where some people say to dilute it so I don't know which way is correct. The Parmasean cheese sounds like a good idea. What brand kibble do you feed?
