Feeding Young Puppies

When we get young pups in rescue, I buy dry puppy food and put it in my blender. It's almost mush by the time I put it in the dish with some watered down milk. You can actually buy "mother's milk" at the pet store and that would help with puppy immunity until they get older. I have also used baby oatmeal or rice cereal for pups, all mixed with milk water. You can eventually start to put about a half spoon or so of canned puppy food in with it and they will move easily into big dog food. Remember that the puppy should eat puppy food the first year of their life so they get the vitamins they need.

You should soften dry food for them (puppy chow) in some water then feed.
