How do dogs feed their puppies?

For the first few weeks, puppies are nursed on milk produced by the mother dog. As the pups develop they need to start transitioning to solid food. If assistance from the breeder is not available to produce gruel for the puppies to eat, the mother dog will eat and partially digest food which she then vomits for the puppies to eat. This sustains the puppies while they practice eating solid food until they are able to digest it themselves.
