What do puppies eat dried or canned?

It depends on how old the puppy is... If it is less than 3 and 1/2 weeks old, it should still be on its mother's milk If it is 3 1/2 to 7 weeks old, the best option is probably taking dried food, adding just enough water to make the food soggy, and mashing it into a mush that the puppy can lap up. After 7 weeks, they can start eating normal dry puppy food.

Can you dock a tail if the dog is two weeks old?

Yes, 3 weeks is too old to dock a puppy's tail. Normally this procedure is done between the ages of 2-5 days old. You can have it done at 3 weeks but now it will be a major surgery where the puppy will have to be sedated and the tail docked and sutures put in. It will cost a lot more too.
