Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I feed my dogs Natures Variety which is an all stages food, I put the kibble in the food processor and grind it to a powder mix it with goats milk and put it in a saucer I started doing that at 4 weeks. at 8 weeks I start them on NV soft mixed with the powder and by 12 weeks they are eating kibble mixed with the soft and with this litter I added the raw medallions before I put them to bed and they LOVED it.. mama started limiting the nursing about that time too. hugs, Carmen in nj Last edited by carmen in nj; 02-28-2010 at 03:20 PM. |

| Mom may not be drying up.... but the pups are draining her very fast due to their age. I usually start them on some supplemental foods at this age - teeth should be in enough for that. I offer crushed kibble and sometimes softened kibble first. My challenge is Mom wanting to eat all the puppy's food.... showing them how to eat? or just being a "hoover"...... ? LOL |
