That is what I've planned on so far. My vet also said to be sure to use Gerber or Beechnut chicken or beef. I've been using goat's milk, water and puppy gold for her formula now. I planned on using the goats milk with a little puppy gold in place of the milk replacer formula. What are your thoughts on that? For now, I've been introducing her to a shallow dish (actually a plasticware lid...lol) of water. She's still a little unsure about what's going on there, but I think she'll get the hang of it.
