What is the process for weaning puppies?

Answer by  keiki (1376)

When the puppies are about 4 weeks old start offering them "gruel" which is puppy food and water combined in a blender. Every couple days increase the food to water ratio, until they're eating solid food by itself. They'll probably want to try eating their mom's food as well, and that's fine. They should be completely weaned by 8 weeks.

At 3-5 weeks (when teeth start to come in), start offering it small amounts of wet food. First, try from your finger, and then put its head toward the food.

Puppies are weaned over a two week time period. You must first remove the mother from the area so that you can introduce another food source. Using soft and mushy dog food is the best option to begin with. You will have to reduce from 3 feedings a day to one.
