Here's a breakdown of the process:
* 3-4 weeks: You can begin introducing soft, mushy foods like puppy kibble soaked in warm water or commercial puppy formula. Start with small amounts and gradually increase as the puppy gets used to it.
* 4-6 weeks: The puppy should be transitioning to eating solid food. You can start introducing puppy kibble, wet puppy food, and meat-based baby food.
* 6-8 weeks: The puppy should be eating solid food with a good balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
Important things to keep in mind:
* Never force a puppy to eat.
* Follow the feeding guidelines on the puppy food packaging.
* Consult with your veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations for your puppy.
* Avoid giving your puppy human food.
* Ensure fresh water is always available.
It's important to note that these are just general guidelines. The exact timing may vary depending on the individual puppy's development. If you have any concerns, it's best to consult with a veterinarian.
