If you’re raising Boxer puppies without their mother you
will still need to wean them from milk and start them on a puppy chow. Puppies
start weaning around three or four weeks of age. They tend to be completely
weaned by around seven to 8 weeks of age. If there’s no mom, then you will be
weaning them from milk and bottle. You can start by introducing them to milk in
a bowl instead of a bottle. You may need to place the milk on your finger and
get the pups to lick it and then show them to get the milk from the bowl. Once
they start getting milk from the bowl, start adding a little bit of puppy chow
to the milk and allow it to moisten. This will help introduce them to dry food.
Cut back on the milk until the puppies are eating just the puppy chow. For
more tips, call your vet Greensboro, NC.
