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.
