At about 4 weeks, (and please understand the exact age will vary, depending on the breed of puppies you have and their size etc.) you can introduce your litter of puppies to Puppy Chow!
Start at about 1 cup Puppy Chow to two or three cups water, the runnier the better at first. Mix well, no lumps. Use nursery water. You can pour it into a concave tupperware lid. You may have to help puppies the first day or two. Dip your finger in the mixture and put it in the puppies mouth. They will soon get used to eating it off the dish. Feed the puppies 2 times a day at first, while Mom is still nursing. Gradually use less water over the next 2 weeks, and you will see Mom will nurse less and less. You can then feed the puppies three times a day and then 4 times a day as Mom is almost completely done nursing. Finally you can just soak the puppy chow in water, as the last step prior to real Puppy Chow! here is a ink to our website http://brandtsenglishbulldogs.blogspot.com/
