Absolutely! It's best to get them to suckle if possible! There are some good puppy formula recipes but again, easy to mess up if things aren't done just right - so I generally recommend a commercial product for novice owners. Rice water (the water you drain off after cooking rice) can replace regular water if diarrhea occurs - goats milk puppy milk is also often easier then regular puppy milk.
