Depends on the age of the puppy. If the puppy is under 6 weeks of age then wetting the food may be necessary.
If the puppy is over 8 weeks of age then wetting the food shouldn't be necessary but may be needed during the puppy's teething stage depending on the number of teeth lost.
If the puppy looses quite a few baby teeth near the same period of time. Then wetting the puppy's food to soften it will help ensure that the puppy is able to eat their food properly until the new teeth have come in.
Dry puppy food has more calories in it, so I prefer to feed a good name brand of dry puppy food. You can also mix the canned puppy food in with the dry puppy food.
At 4 weeks you will be starting the weaning process. The dry food should also contain puppy milk topped off with enough water to make a 'baby food' consistency mix.
It is fine to feed you puppy wet or dry puppy food known ad Kibble. Water can be added to kibble to make it into a porridge mix which younger puppies prefer or a mixture of both. more information at allthingspuppy.co.uk/post/best-puppy-food-2021
It is unclear from this question what the puppy is currently eating. A eight week old puppy should be able to eat dry food. Any change in the diet should be made gradually. If you are changing from a wet food to dry you should mix them or have both available and gradually remove the wet food. If you are weening the puppy from milk you should start with dry food soaked in water or milk and gradually reduce the liquid.
Your puppy needs specially prepared puppy food. You can buy some at the store. You can feed him small pieces of meat also. Hope that helps
All puppies should receive puppy food, and be fed three times daily, for AT LEAST the first year of life. Check with your Vet for his/her recommendation of puppy food for small breeds. I fed my westie, Mop, puppy food till she was one and a half. :D
At 8 weeks old, your puppy should be able to eat regular puppy food. Try giving him wet food, or mix his hard food with hot water to make a gravy type of mush. Good luck.
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.
no, no you can not
yes, you can for most puppies it is recomended. vets say when you are to do that while they are youg they will be strong, active, and obidient when they get older. if your puppies dont eat eat it at four weeks try it again at 8 weeks. by then they should be want something different. Also you should keep your dog on a balenced diet of food. you should not change it often. that causes the dog to get sick or get diebitis. when the dogs reach 18 weeks to a year change its food to a older dog food and leave it and that should help you dog grow, and be healthy.
A German Shepherd puppy should have a mix and hard and wet dog food. One scoop of them mixed together twice or three times a day will suffice.
