At three weeks they are probably still nursing. They could be starting to have puppy food or dry food soaked in formula or water introduced. They will eat some of it and begin to learn how to eat from a dish.

Your German Shepherd has 6 puppies 2 weeks old when can you start feeding them puppy food?

You can start introducing puppy food to the puppies around 3-4 weeks of age. However, it's important to consult with your veterinarian to ensure you are providing the appropriate nutrition for the puppies' development. Gradually mix the puppy food with water to form a mushy consistency before feeding.


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.


How long should a dog breastfeed her puppies?

A mother dog typically breastfeeds her puppies for about 4-6 weeks. After this time, the puppies should be gradually weaned onto solid food. It's important to monitor the puppies' weight gain and their ability to eat solid food before completely stopping breastfeeding.


How do puppies have to be to start weaning them from mom?

Puppies can start weaning from their mother at around 3-4 weeks of age. At that point, they can begin to eat soft puppy food and transition from nursing. It's important to monitor their progress and make sure they are getting proper nutrition during the weaning process.


When do new puppies get teeth and when do the start eating dry food?

When the puppy is at about two months old. If it's available and the puppies are started on mashed wet dogfood at 10 days I've had them eating, by their choice, mom's dry food at 3 weeks. But that should not be depended on as their only source of food. Puppies still nursing should be fed twice a day. Puppies weaned from mom need to be fed three times a day until they are 3 or more months old.

When can puppies eat solid food?

Puppies are the same as kittens. They need to eat lots. I think they need to eat a tiny bit more than dogs because puppies need to grow. No, that doesn't mean starve your puppy if you want it to stay a puppy, it needs to eat and whether it eats or not, it will grow. Its just puppies need to grow. Just leave a bowl of puppy food out and put the puppy in front of it until it learns that the spot is where the food bowl is. Dogs, they eat when they want. They shouldn't eat as much as puppies though cause then they could end up getting fat. =3 Woof
