How long do staffy puppys feed from mum?
In the wild, weaning begins naturally as soon as the puppies start to develop their teeth at three to four weeks of age. Suckling then irritates or hurts the mother who will move away and leave her puppies for longer and longer periods. Natural weaning involves the female dog vomiting her food and the puppies consuming the vomitus. Many pets will also do this and cause concern to owners. It is usually a natural maternal function and nothing to be worried about. Once the puppies' eyes are open, the sooner the puppies are weaned, the less the strain on the mother and the sooner she will return to normal condition. If the puppies have been hand raised for any reason, the sooner they are weaned and eating solid food on their own, the better. It is worthwhile to begin offering soft foods as soon as their eyes are open.
Should 5 week old puppys eat hard food or soft?

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.
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.

This is a critical learning stage for the puppies to develop dog social skills that will aid them later in life. It is a proven fact that puppies taken earlier have a higher percentage of developing behaviorial issues as they grow up.
