Can adult dogs eat puppy food?
If the dog is a smaller breed, like a chihuahua, you should feed it puppy food until it is about 8 or 9 months old, but if it is a larger breed, like a whippet, you should feed it puppy food until it is about 1 year and a half old. When you do make the switch between puppy food and adult food, you should mix half the amount of puppy food you normally feed it with half the amount of adult food you are going to feed it together, then put in a bit of chicken or rice to make it easier for your dogs system to get used to. If you do not introduce the switch in a subtle way (by adding chicken or rice) your dog's stomach will not get used to it and will simply give it back. (which could be a bit messy!!) Hope this helped ! :-)

How long does a dogs milk stay in?
Your dog will produce milk as long as there is a demand put on her by the puppies. The pups should stay with their Mom 8 weeks but should be weaned at around 3-4 weeks of age. You should introduce softened dry puppy food mixed with canned milk (diluted 1 part water to 1 part canned milk). Do not feed regular cow's milk as will cause diarrhea. You can stop adding the canned milk at about 4 weeks and just feed the softened mushy dry puppy food soaked in warm water and then feed it drier as the pups age. By 5-6 weeks they should be crunching on dry puppy food. Mom needs to not be nursing them at all, so her milk will dry up. Note: Mom dog should be fed a good name brand puppy food while nursing her pups and pups should be put on the same good name brand dry puppy food too. Don't feed cheap generic dry puppy food.
