For pet dogs, breast milk is the best nutritional food. As puppies grow up, their need for nutrients also increases accordingly. The amount of breast milk and the ingredients in breast milk cannot meet the growth and development needs of puppies. At this time, it is necessary to add complementary foods such as dog food and dog snacks to the puppies, and finally wean them.

Weaning steps:

1. Puppies should be provided with soaked puppy food when they are 3 weeks old. Do not wean them. The dog food should be fed at one-tenth of the food intake;

2. Gradually increase the amount of dog food to reduce the moisture in the dog food. While the puppies adapt to eating dog food, reduce the intake of breast milk.

3. Puppies can completely wean off breast milk after they are four weeks old.

Note:

1. Some puppies are not very interested in dog food and still chase the mother dog for milk. At this time, the mother dog and puppies can be raised separately 2-3 times a day;

2. Puppies don’t know they are full and will eat fiercely when they see food. It is recommended to feed a few grains in the early stage;

3. Pay attention to the health status of puppies during the weaning process. Make sure your puppy is gaining weight gradually. Check for vomiting and diarrhea;
