I have weaned puppies starting at 5 weeks old or as soon as they have most of their teeth. They have done fine. I have given them to their homes around 7 1/2 weeks. I have a lot of human contact with the puppies so that they are used to being held and played with and I also have started potty training as soon as I start weaning. I take them out with their momma so they see her go potty and it’s been a successful process.
I am gonna keep them together 16 weeks to socialize and let momma teach respect and can’t wait to see how she teaches them along with their daddy at their side! Yeah, I didn’t keep them separated long enough, her last heat, even went longer than I thought, like weeks😅🧐🌈Father has other ideas for us sometimes….I now have my bobsled team to accommodate rising gas prices…..
They probably most likely came from a puppy farm if that’s the case which isn’t great but don’t feel scared. I’m actually in the same boat. We think our puppy came from one as well which makes puppies slightly harder to settle in but at least they’ll get a better home now
@@ko7302 yeah it was irresponsible. I found out more info after posting this. The puppy wasnt 4 weeks but in fact 6 weeks which was better but concerning, the reason they allowed us to take them early is because they saw my baby brother loving the pupoy and wanting to take him home now. After some convincing i was able to get everyone to agree to return the pupoy for a few more weeks until they were 8 and the original owner was kind enough to give their first shots as well. Now he is around11-12 weeks old and loves our home. He still has these puppy tantrums and due to a family member having covid its been tough to properly train him. Once the 14 days pass i plan on continue crate training him
@@jads9152 he is doing fine. Im still trying to train him and crate training has been difficult due to everyone having a busy schedule. Still the most issues we have is him walking infront of us and since he is small we accidentally bump into him. There is also the fact he is still biting but not as much as before yet rarely bites really hard. The good thing is he is getting use to diapers but still has small accidents on occasion
I found an abandoned puppy few days old & have been bottle feeding him . He has opened his eyes & got teeth now - still bottle feeding him . Should I get him vaccinated, he’s soon going to be 4 weeks
Interesting you said most dogs will be rehomed by 6 to 8 weeks because here in Ireland it is the law that pups have to be kept with the mother for 12 weeks.
It depends bc by 7 weeks they already learned everything they need to know from their litter and mother so it's ok to send them to other families by then, 12 weeks is more dangerous since they get too connected and it'll be harder
Do you need to mix the puppy food with milk or is just water ok. And could u please recommend some puppy food brands that will give a husky the right nutrients
I am fostering a momma and her 10 babes. They don't sleep for very long periods of time and wake several times a night. I have been doing food for them. Is this the right thing to do? It's super chaotic here. I haven't slept in 5 days....
I hope they are taking to it ok, although they are still pretty young. They probably need to eat about every 4 hours so I would suggest offering it to them for an hour or so 3-4 times a day. They are going to make a lot of mess and not take on very much to begin with but they'll get there!
Hi I have newborn puppies they're now about a month old, I just switched from goat's milk for puppies to wet food and they poop some kind of jelly thing with their poo is this normal?
When do I take his milk away I had to bottle feed him he's 5 weeks old he's a min pin he's healthy and happy I been sock8ng it in water then putting a Lil milk pet formula in it but he's doing good took his bottle letting him drink it out a bowl he's a chunkier Lil man name is Asher. When should I take his milk and how do I get him to like the water he know how to drink out the blow just don't like or get the water like he drinks his milk out the bowl

If you are bottle feeding then offer food first and then try gradually reducing the amount at each feed rather then reducing frequency. If they are still feeding from Mum then no bottle feeding is needed
When I look for puppy milk...most results show Me puppy milk replacer in powder form. Is that the type your reffering to in your video? Or the liquid puppy milk. Will the powder work?
Our puppies are from a stray mother. The puppies are almost 4 weeks old. The mother doesn't want to spend much time with the babies lately, but every time we try to feed the puppies puppy mush, they cry and do not want to eat. Should we just keep trying or is there something else we can do?
You can get the puppy powder milk replacement, give them that initially and then incorporate kibble in small amounts until eventually they eat mostly kibble
I have 9 puppies whelping - the didn’t get there eyes open till 3.5 weeks , now they are 4 weeks , and I have used cupcake tin with 9 cups with grul . Mom cleans the tin and( not really tin) it’s really messy but not so bad
they can be given from 6 weeks of age in high risk situations, otherwise they are normally started at 8 weeks. Your vet will be able to best advise you which is right for your pup
Great info ! Tried this with my 3 week old golden retrievers.. mama dog is no longer wanting to nurse . They are doing great 👍
I hope they continue to thrive and their mum is OK

Great to hear, thanks
It’s not rewarding at all, it’s very very stressful 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🎯
Right!!! 😂
Lol
😂😂😂😂 omg I have to agree
And when you sell them they want to pay less than the price they don’t the struggle we go thru

This really helps will be trying to my shihtzu puppies
I definitely need this after my family just adopted a 4 week old puppy
Geez what a irresponsible breeder. In most states in the US that is illegal. 8 week minimum here. I'm glad you guys are taking care of them go ❤

Thank you for the awesome advice! My pups are 15 days old and was worried about the weaning process for when they are three weeks!
Good luck! having pups is a busy time
Hi there. How did it go with the weaning process?
It isn’t easy to learn how to wean puppies these days. I 💕 Yellow Lab and Golden Retriever puppies very much. 👍🏻 if you agree.
💗we just had golden puppies they are soooo sweet love them :)) yes!!!
I found an abandoned puppy few days old & have been bottle feeding him . He has opened his eyes & got teeth now - still bottle feeding him . Should I get him vaccinated, he’s soon going to be 4 weeks
💛🙏 bless you
This is so freaking helpful
Interesting you said most dogs will be rehomed by 6 to 8 weeks because here in Ireland it is the law that pups have to be kept with the mother for 12 weeks.
Law is 8 weeks in Ireland. 12 weeks recommended as best practice
It depends bc by 7 weeks they already learned everything they need to know from their litter and mother so it's ok to send them to other families by then, 12 weeks is more dangerous since they get too connected and it'll be harder
Do you need to mix the puppy food with milk or is just water ok. And could u please recommend some puppy food brands that will give a husky the right nutrients
It’s not essential but does make it more nutritious and similar to Mum’s milk
I am fostering a momma and her 10 babes. They don't sleep for very long periods of time and wake several times a night. I have been doing food for them. Is this the right thing to do?
It's super chaotic here. I haven't slept in 5 days....
Yes, I'm afraid feeding puppies and sleeping are two activities that don't happen at the same time!
Dr. I was wanting to know, how many solid ( sloppy )feeds to give my 3 week old mastiff puppies in a day. They had their first sloppy meal today.
I hope they are taking to it ok, although they are still pretty young. They probably need to eat about every 4 hours so I would suggest offering it to them for an hour or so 3-4 times a day. They are going to make a lot of mess and not take on very much to begin with but they'll get there!
THANK U SO MUCH my dog just gave birth and there 5 weeks so I was like ummm when do they start eating.!?
Hi I have newborn puppies they're now about a month old, I just switched from goat's milk for puppies to wet food and they poop some kind of jelly thing with their poo is this normal?
How do you keep mom from barking the entire time you have the puppies away from her while eating?
Impossible really
Do they have to have teeth to start eating the puppy food?
Great info from likeable fellow!
I have a Pomeranian that's 5_6 weeks old what food should I buy for him?
Dog food
So do I need to leave all the little pups a dish of water for hydration at all times?
once they are about 3 weeks then yes, in a shallow dish
When do I take his milk away I had to bottle feed him he's 5 weeks old he's a min pin he's healthy and happy I been sock8ng it in water then putting a Lil milk pet formula in it but he's doing good took his bottle letting him drink it out a bowl he's a chunkier Lil man name is Asher.

Can they still be breastfed while eating solid food? 🙂
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Thnk u very much, but Wen can I take my puppy for immunization after birt?
Thank you, I really need this. Especially on cows milk.
Glad it was helpful!
During the weaning process how often should I feed her milk replacement?
If you are bottle feeding then offer food first and then try gradually reducing the amount at each feed rather then reducing frequency. If they are still feeding from Mum then no bottle feeding is needed
Our Pets Health No she’s away from mom, so should I just try grueling with a milk replacement and then reduce the amount day by day?
To create a gruel can I use that canned puppy food where do I use kibble
Our puppies mother just started weaning them at 3 weeks
What is puppy milk? Like milk pumped from the mother??
you can buy a puppy milk replacer powder that can be used to bottle feed puppies and also mixed with food as discussed here
When I look for puppy milk...most results show Me puppy milk replacer in powder form. Is that the type your reffering to in your video? Or the liquid puppy milk. Will the powder work?
yes, you mix the powder as instructed on the packaging to make up the liquid to be fed
@@OurPetsHealth thank you!
thank you for sharing this :))💗strean fam
Our puppies are from a stray mother. The puppies are almost 4 weeks old. The mother doesn't want to spend much time with the babies lately, but every time we try to feed the puppies puppy mush, they cry and do not want to eat. Should we just keep trying or is there something else we can do?

My yorkie is close to 4 weeks but she has no teeth
they won't be far away, but that's not a barrier to starting to explore soft food
@@OurPetsHealth thank you so much how much food should I put down?
I have 9 puppies whelping - the didn’t get there eyes open till 3.5 weeks , now they are 4 weeks , and I have used cupcake tin with 9 cups with grul .
Mom cleans the tin and( not really tin) it’s really messy but not so bad
6 weeks is a ridiculous time frame to sell pups ...thankfully here most pups are rehoused to their new forever home at 12 weeks
Yes to make it's simple he dose not have a winer couse he feed its to hest puppy coust he feed hest winer to the puppy.
Its so much fun
But very messy
And scary for poor mama dam
Eating as much as she can but still
Skinny
I have ten pups there 4 weeks and it’s hard work lol
that's a lot of puppies!
@@OurPetsHealth she is a small breed . Puppies are a lot of work as this was first time ever .
My puppie once ive done this is constipated 😢🇬🇧
Rehomed at 6 weeks???? Errrrr no
It's not a practice I would recommend but it's not all that uncommon
@@OurPetsHealth if you’re taking a puppy home at 6 weeks then you’re as irresponsible as the breeder who’s selling it at 6 weeks.
show how, don't just tell how
Don't ya just love accents?
Thnk u very much, but Wen can I take my puppy for immunization after birt?
they can be given from 6 weeks of age in high risk situations, otherwise they are normally started at 8 weeks. Your vet will be able to best advise you which is right for your pup
