I did a search on the site, and didn't see anything (but feel free to just post a link to a thread if I missed it!). I'd love to know what peoples thought and programs are for feeding their puppies! Mine will be 3 weeks old Tuesday, and Mom is getting tired of all the nursings!!

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice!

I feed all my dogs Pro Plan Chicken & Rice Adult, including puppies. When they are babies I put the dry kibble in the blender and blend it into a powder, then add hot water and goats milk to make a gruel and watch the mess begin.

last year I used eukanuba weaning formula, basically its their puppy food already ground up, just add warm water, I also added goats milk, cottage cheese and pumpkin to it. the pups loved it!

Is this a litter you bred? Or a litter you are fostering for a rescue?

This is the litter I bred, ie they are still getting nourishment from mom, which is what I think you were getting at.

so where are the pictures? litter size? goats milk is the best, if you can't find it try a health food store, but I do get it at my grocery store, in the health food section. Cows milk can cause diarrhea.

Most any grocery store has it in cans in the bakery section by the evaporated and sweetened condensed milk.

We use Canadia All Stages, put through the food processor, and powered goat milk mixed with hot water.
All my pups did very well on that diet.
