This usually happens around five weeks but typically the mother will take care of it. Once the puppies teeth start to come in then nursing is not so pleasant for the mother. You can start offering the puppies soaked puppy food around four weeks. They may not eat much of it but they will begin to get the idea.

you should watch to see when your puppy is about four months oldand then introduce it into the adult food and see which one it likes.(i would not recomend beneful because dogs eat it because it doesnt have the nutrients so they have to eat more.) Solid Gold is the best food. It lasts a REALLY long time like 1.5 months for a large breed dog because it has so much vitamins and nutrients.

Labrador retrievers can generally move to adult food starting at 8-10 weeks, but consult with your breeder or veterinarian for their opinion.

To be sure about your pet, you should check with your veterinarian. You could read the serving size suggestions on the food package. It will generally tell you this information.

Good idea mix puppy food with adult dog food?

The only time it is a good idea to mix puppy food with dog food is when you are transitioning over from one to the other. Puppy should is suggested for the first year of life. After that, you should make the transition to dog food. To do this, you start by mixing a little bit of dog food with the puppy food. You keep increasing the ratio of dog food to puppy food over a few days until your dog is completely transitioned over. Doing it slowly helps avoid stomach upset that occurs when you change your pet's food.
