Kibble Puppy & Adult dog Food Sample: 4oz – approximately 1 cup
What do you feed puppies that are about 3 weeks old and have no mother to feed them?
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010I have 5 puppies and their mother has ran away and I’m worried that they might die if not taken care of properly.
What breed of dog are they Victor???
You will have to bottle feed the pups for about another week every 3 hours around the clock!
Once they are about 4 weeks old you can start to introduce puppy mush to them. It is very easy to make
Puppy mush:
3 cups good quality puppy food crushed up in a blender add warm water just enough to make a runny oatmeal like mush. Pour this into pie pans. Let the pups lap this up ok. Also have a shallow bowl of puppy replacement formula mixed 1/2 & 1/2 with water for them to drink. You can feed them this 4 times a day. You will have to watch them while eating and have a towel ready to clean them up after they eat. Let them drink as much as they want too. after they have all eaten pick up the dishes and then clean the pups up! Mom usually does this.
At 5 weeks old soak the puppy food in warm water until very soft. Break it up with a fork. Feed them this 4 times a day along with water. Get some drip water bottles and allow the pups to drink when every they want too. No need for pupy milk any longer.
6weeks old soak food and feed the pups 4 times a day. Have 2 water bottles for the pups. clean the pups up ok.
7 weeks old soak 1/2 the puppy food add regular puppy dry food into the wet food. Water all the time.
8 weeks old dry puppy food & water.
9 weeks odl rehome the pups their ready for their new homes!
Pat yourself on the back for a job very well done!
Hope this helps!
Right now you should keep the pups warm and safe and well fed. Get them vet checked for worms and have your vet teach you how to give the pups their wormer. Please do not get any over the counter wormers. They dont work and they do make the pups very sick and some can even kill the pups.
Your vet is the very best person to guide you in this matter ok.

When should I start feeding my month old puppies puppy chow and how much at time?
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010The puppies are golden retrievers and I have nine puppies and was wondering how much to feed them and how often a day.. Many Thanks!
Yup they are old enough to start on puppy mush!
Make 2 batches of this:
2 cups good quality dry puppy food place in blender
Chop up puppy food in a blender add warm water unitl it looks like runny oatmeal. Pour into shallow pan like a heavy pie pan. Make 2 batches of this for 9 pups.
Place down for pups to lap up!
Feed the pups this 3 to 4 times a day. Allow mom back in with pups to clean them up and for pups to nurse.
5 weeks old:
soak puppy food in warm water, increase to 2 1/2 cups for each pan. Break up with fork feed pups 3 to 4 times a day. Let mom back in to clean them up but you may need to help her out so have a warm wash cloth and towel ready. Also have clean cool water for them now all the time. I found drip bottles like they use for rabbits to be the best thing for this. I’d get 2 or 3 for 9 pups.
6 weeks old:
Soak some food & leave some crunchy and feed to pups 3 to 4 times a day. Increase to 3 cups for each pan. Make sure they have clean full water bottles all the time. If mom still want to nurse every now and then fine if she doesn’t dont force her.
7 & 8 weeks old:
Same as 6 weeks. By 7 weeks old they should be fully weaned and mom no longer needs to nurse pups.
My e-mail is open if you need more help!
Hope this helped!
What should my puppy chihuahua be eating at her age?
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010My mom’s friend gave us a 2 month old chihuahua and I don’t know what to feed her. We bought her puppy food but she doesn’t eat it and we serve her warm milk and she drinks that, but I feel that she is too skinny and should gain a little more pounds. Does anyone have any suggestion to what I should give her to eat?
omg! noooo please don’t give her anymore cow’s milk. that will make her very very sick
you want to make sure she eats every 2 hours. chihuahua’s have a super quick metabolism and their blood sugar will drop if not properly fed
get some eukaneuba or bill jack food (dry) and soak it in warm water… they can’t chew hard food yet and canned food is unhealthy and crap.
another good food is rachel ray’s "nutrish" dog food for small dogs… either one will be fine but you need to soften it.
if you notice her shaking bad, or just acting lethargic or sleepy, give her some karo corn syrup. it’s good to have some on hand in case you ever need it. please show your mom this message so she can get the proper stuff!
What age should I start feeding my puppies canned puppy food?
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010I have 8 2 week old puppies who i am wondering when they can eat canned puppy food.
Next week they can eat canned dog food. I feed my puppies that when they’re 3 weeks old. You have to mix it with water to make it like gravy so the can eat it better. Its hard for them to chew and swallow it without water mixed with it. I use a Frisbee upside down to feed them for the first time. Its hard for them to stick their heads in high bowls. Feed them once a day, because they still need their mothers milk. I usually feed mine in the middle of the day, and they drink their mother’s milk from night to morning.
Send the mother to go play outside while the puppies eat the canned food, so she won’t distract them, or try to eat it all.
Buying and Caring for Pomeranian Puppies
Monday, November 16th, 2009
Pomeranian puppies are growing in popularity with a vengeance however it is not always common knowledge on how to care and even select from various Pomeranian puppies. These are cute, adorable fluffy little animals that think as they grow that they are as big as the biggest German Shepard out there but they are awfully loyal and very protective of their owners.
This breed of puppies are not recommended for small children as they have a short temper and often have the reputation of snapping and biting when in the presence of small children that are too rough or loud. They are however perfect for any elderly person who doesn’t like to go for long extravagant walks with dogs or that have a limited space for rearing a dog.
Before Buying Pomeranian’s
When you are seeking out Pomeranian puppies to buy for yourself or someone you know it is of high importance that you find out if your puppy has had de-worming vaccinations. This is a pivotal part of buying your Pomeranian puppies as it prevents them from getting those awful dreaded worms. As well as worm vaccinations, be sure that any of the Pomeranian puppies you wish to purchase have been given all immunizations that are required up to the point that you buy them.
After initial immunizations in the care of the store or organization, it will be necessary that your Pomeranian puppies get more vaccinations and it is imperative that you keep up on them. After all, you don’t want your puppy getting sick.
Daily Caring of Pomeranian Puppies
Along with feeding and daily exercise, which is an important part of any Pomeranian puppies life, comes the hygiene, teeth care and grooming. It is important that your puppy have dry food available at all times and is recommended for these dog types and on top of the bowl of dry food being out, also three times a day you must give your puppy some soft canned puppy food as well as having a fresh supply of water at all times.
Your puppy is not going to like this step much but if you continue to do it while it is young, it will get easier and the puppy will accept having its teeth brushed. You can use a small infant soft toothbrush or you can use a specially made dog one but whichever you should choose never put toothpaste on it.

What is the best dog food for a rottweiler puppy?
Thursday, November 12th, 2009I have a 4 month old German rottweiler puppy who has a very dull coat and is not very energetic. I want to switch to an organic/natural dog food but I also want it to be for large breeds (to keep up with her growth). Help! I do not know what to get! I have been feeding Science Diet Large Breed Lamb and Rice, but she doesn’t like it and it hasn’t helped with the coat. Am at my wits end.
I use Eagle Pack Holistic for Large and Giant breeds for my mastiffs. It gives them a shiny coat, they all have good muscle tone, and the puppy food is specially formulated ofr large breed pups so it doesn’t have too much protein.
What is Weaning puppies and when will pomeranian puppies open their eyes?
Thursday, November 12th, 2009I’ve been reading about the weaning process but it doesn’t tell me what it is. My pups will be 1 week old on tuesday.
Also, When will Pomeranian puppies open their eyes?
why are you raising puppies if you cant answer these questions?!?!
to begin with they pups should start openeing their eyes at 2 weeks..they will just start peaking out at first in the corners so please..please do not try and force the eyes all the way open. and to begin weaning i would start offering the puppies soaked until soft puppy food..and its ok to let mom eat the left over puppy food..this is actually good for her. starting at 4-5 weeks start limiting the time mom is with the pups and feeding them puppy food more often until mom is completly out of the picture…i do with the best to the puppies…maybe next time you should study up alittle befor the pups arrive
and also..should de-worm the pups at 3 weeks..and again in 10 days to kill all eggs that have hatched. should begin puppy shots at 6 weeks
Got A Golden Retriever? – Give Your Golden Retriever Puppy A Healthy Start!
Thursday, November 12th, 2009
Starting your new Golden Retriever puppy out on the right foot by feeding him properly will help him grow to be a happy, healthy adult. puppies receive their nutrients from their mother until they’re about 7 weeks old. But at about three weeks, it’s time to start giving them puppy food that has been soaked and mixed to a thin paste that resembles the food they get from mom. The breeder should have started this process before you pick up your new Golden Retriever puppy.
Before you bring your Golden Retriever puppy home, be sure to find out exactly what food he’s been given and the times he’s been fed. Because puppy stomachs are very sensitive, it’s important to continue the same regimen. When you begin to change to a more mature diet, gradually transition from 25% new mix with 75% of the old diet to the opposite (75% new and 25% old) over a ten-day period. This will give your Golden Retriever puppy time to adjust to the new diet without undue discomfort or digestive problems.
When your Golden Retriever puppy is at least 8 weeks old, it is acceptable to separate him from his mother and bring him home to meet his new family. At first, your new puppy may not show much interest in eating. Changes this big can be very stressful. Don’t force him to eat. Once he figures out he doesn’t have to fit his brothers and sisters to get his fair share, he’ll become more curious and hungry. So don’t worry if he only sniffs and nibbles at first.
Puppies need twice the nutrients that adult Golden Retrievers need to stay healthy. Don’t be tempted to use too many treats with your Golden Retriever puppy, as they do not contain enough nutrients for his healthy growth. For the fist few weeks, stick to the type of food and the same feeding schedule as he was getting from the breeder. It’s hard for a new Golden Retriever puppy to adjust to changes, and maintaining a stable schedule with familiar food will be a nice balance to the shock of new surroundings and people. During the transition to the new food, watch closely for vomiting, loose stool or constipation. If these occur, slow down the transition until your Golden Retriever puppy adjusts and can eat without becoming upset or ill.
Professionals recommend that puppies should eat three times a day until they are about six months old. But it’s a good idea to take the puppy to your vet as soon as you can. Get him checked out, and discuss diet and nutrition with your vet. Your vet will be able to give you tips on appropriate weights so that you can avoid over- or under-feeding your new Golden Retriever puppy.
The feeding schedule will, of course, be largely determined by your own schedule. But set regular times, and stick to them. Your new Golden Retriever puppy need stability, and sticking to a set schedule will help you with house-training, as his bathroom habits will be regular and predictable. Be sure to provide ample water during and after his meals. Set aside some quiet time for your Golden Retriever puppy after meals to avoid stomach problems. Expect your puppy to need to go to the bathroom within a hour or so. Ask the kids not to play with the puppy for the first hour to hour-and-a-half after he eats.
When your Golden Retriever puppy has learned to sleep through the night, make it a habit to take him outside for a potty break each morning. Then feed him, allowing for about an hour of quiet time afterward. Stick to your feeding schedule as much as you possibly can. You should schedule the last feeling at last an hour or so before you plan to go to bed so that you can give him a potty break before everyone settles in for a good night’s rest. Until your Golden Retriever puppy is house-broken, provide puppy pads or newspapers near (not in) his sleeping area in case he can’t wake you up for a trip outside.
By the time your Golden Retriever puppy is 8 to 10 weeks old, he should be on a diet of dry dog food. You can add a little warm water to make it more appetizing, but don’t use canned or moist dog food. These are mostly water and not nearly as nutritious as the dry foods. The warm water will encourage your Golden Retriever puppy to eat all his food, though you may need to sit with him and add more warm water a little at a time. From three to six months, your Golden Retriever puppy will be teething. He may appear to be sick, but unless it lasts over two days, don’t worry. It’s growing pains.
Never feed your Golden Retriever puppy table scraps. They are likely to upset his stomach, and they are not the nutrition he needs at this stage of his growth. As your puppy grows, his stomach will grow, and he’ll eat more. At about six months, you should begin to feed him twice a day, in the morning and at night, but continue to use a diet of puppy food. Being larger dogs, you may want to keep your Golden Retriever on puppy food well into his second year. But you should reduce feeding to once per day, always offering plenty of water during and after his meal. When you do switch to adult dog foods, be sure to select a quality brand with adequate nutrition for your Golden Retriever.
If you follow these guidelines and show your new Golden Retriever plenty of love and affection, you’ll give him a great start to a long, happy, healthy lifetime with your family. He’ll be a valuable and beloved member of your family for years.
