I have a 6 boxer puppies and they are one month old. Should I give them any food apart from milk? What food?
Hi Erik
When the puppies are between 3 and 4 weeks of age the mom starts to wean them naturally, by not allowing them to suckle for as long. She may also start to regurgitate her own food as a kind of 'starter' meal for them.
After 4 weeks of age you can start to introduce them to 'proper' food. Choose a good quality puppy food and moisten it with warm water. Leave it to soak for 15 minutes so that it is easier for them to eat with their tiny teeth.
You can also let them start lapping water at this age.
As the mom stops feeding them, increase the meals to 3 times a day. By 6 weeks or so they should be fully weaned.
best of luck with your puppies
