For dog owners, puppy food is definitely no stranger, but many new owners often don’t know when is the best time to feed their dogs puppy food. For newborn puppies, breast milk is the best choice, so when should we wean the puppies and switch to puppy food?
Puppies
Since breast milk contains a large amount of certain nutrients, it is the ideal first choice food. Although puppies are usually weaned at 6-8 weeks, most puppies will start to be interested in solid food at 3-4 weeks - they will often jump on their mother's food bowl and then lick it. Eat food stuck to their paws!
This is the best opportunity to start providing your puppy with formula dog food. If you choose to make dog food, the dog food should be soaked and mashed. For timid puppies, you should dab a little food on their lips to encourage them to try it out. Don't try to wean prematurely, as switching entirely to solid food too early may damage your puppy's delicate stomach. For dog food, the amount of soaking water should be gradually reduced over a period of about 8-10 weeks.
