Hiya~ This isn't really my first rodeo with owning and raising a puppy, however my first and only time started out with me feeding my Husky Purina Puppy chow, which is soft food so I never had to think of rather or not I should 'moisten the food' and when to 'stop moistening the food'. This was the food the breeder started her out on, and though I had planned to switch her to a high end food, I was never able to for the longest time (finally was able to later on) because her stomach can't handle a LOT of dry foods, even if they say they are for sensitive stomachs.
The question I'm trying to ask here is: My puppy I'm getting the 29th (6 days) will be 2 days away from being 8 weeks of age, so I'm wondering how long I should keep moistening his food, and when to stop doing so? Surprisingly I can't seem to find a lot of answers about this, while surfing the web, so I'm asking here.
Sadly he started out on Purina Puppy Chow, too, and I understand the importance of slowly (very slowly) introducing a new food to them, but I plan to because I've had a bad experience with Purina from feeding it to my Husky for years. The new food is hard, yet it is very small pieces, but I figured it should still be moistened. From the only thing I could find about on the web suggested that they stay on moist food until they are 9-10 weeks of age?
Any puppy tips you all have would be highly appreciated, too, since the lot of you are familiar with Dobermans
