It’s time to
wean your puppies, so how do you go about it? First, talk with your vet. Your
veterinarian professional can give you the best timeline for weaning and
instructions on how to get started. Here are some basic general rules of thumb.
First, weaning typically occurs as early as three or four weeks of age. If your
puppies are orphaned or being bottle fed then this is the time when you want to
start introducing that milk replacer in a bowl. If your puppies are with mom
then this is a good age to start allowing them to spend some time away from
mom. It’s also a good time to introduce the milk replacer. You may need to
start with a bowl in front of the puppies and then dip our finger in it and
place some on their lips to help spark their curiosity. Talk to your veterinarians Norfolk, VA
for specifics for your puppies.
