You shouldstart feeding your puppy solid food when it is 6 weeks or older. You should start out with soft food and soon switch to hard because it is better for them.

I think that puppy food wont benefit her because it is aimed at puppies. The nutrients will benefit puppies. You should give your puppies the puppy food and the dog the adult dog food. However, with most whole kibble dog foods, you dont need to give them extra tinned dog food

How does a puppy acquire its food?

Most puppies first live on milk they get from their mother, who nurses her litter; but after about four weeks, once puppies have begun to grow in size, they will transition to more solid food. If the puppy is a pet, it will be given dog food by the person who owns it. There is even special puppy food these days, to make sure the youngest animal gets their nutritional needs met. If the puppy is a stray, living on the street, its mother will nurse it and then try to find food until the puppy is old enough to go out seeking food on its own.

Do you bottle feed a 5 week old puppy?

No, by 5 weeks of age a puppy starts to be weaned off of milk, and should start eating solid foods. When you begin to wean the puppies do it very gradually so that their fragile digestive systems do not get upset. A sudden change will generally give the puppyies diarrhea. You can ask your veterinarian what type of soft food will be best for your puppies. It is always best to choose a soft food that is made just for puppies. Puppy foods have the extra nutrients and minerals that growing puppies need. There are a number of mixtures that are used to wean puppies such as baby foods and milk replacers, but most experts agree that puppies should be weaned on a blend that contains high-quality puppy food. The puppy food may either be placed in a pan of water so it will become mushy, or it can be mixed with puppy milk replacers or baby foods and then blended in a food processor. The weaning process of transitioning a puppy from milk, to gruel, to solid puppy food should take about 2 weeks with a 5 week old pup. Puppies will instinctively begin to try food that their mother is interested in, and overtime they will begin to learn how to eat. During the weaning process food should never be forced upon puppies; instead, the puppies should be allowed to explore and eat the food at their own (messy!) pace.
