I just give my pups the ground dry food during the weaning process but my mommas always like to nurse their babies until they are 8 weeks or older. I feel that it is important that you continue to make sure the pups nurse from their momma at least 4 times a day. How is her milk supply? You can take a little canned Pedigree Lamb and Rice puppy food and mix it with the ground up puppy food so it is just moist and crumbly. Some people might suggest you offer them some puppy formula also. It is just best when the weaning process is slow. It is less stressful on the pups that way.
The bowls I use are not very deep so it is easy for the pups to just walk up to them and eat and drink. When the pups get older then the fun begins because some of them learn how to flip the bowls over but that does not usually happen until the pups are quite a bit older. |
