Default Puppy Gruel, Wheaning

At that age you should be offering them puppy gruel, they are still a bit too young for hard food. At four weeks I give my pups gruel and than gradually introduce them to a thicker gruel before they get dry kibble.

5 weeks old (shake like)
1 c goats milk
1/2 can puppy food (mashed)
1 jar baby food (beef flav)

Mix into a shake like consistency. If needed add more goats milk to get the right consistency. Heat/warm, put into a shallow glass dish and serve. If hesitant put a bit on your finger and put in there mouth. Serve a little at a time, keep refrigerated and heat as needed.

6 weeks old (malt like)
1 1/2 c goats milk (add more if needed)
1/2 can puppy food (mashed)
1 jar baby food (beef flav)
1/2 c puppy kibble (ground) using a blender/food processer

7 weeks old (putty like)
1/2 can puppy food (mashed)
1 c puppy kibble (ground up) using a blender/food processer
replace goats milk with water/enough to keep moistened

This is also when I introduce them to dry kibble. I put both out and let them choose. Be present when first giving them dry kibble to see that they are able to handle it.
