my dog recently had puppies and we fed them solid foods at about 5-6 weeks when they started growing their teeth! and were able to eat it!

Usually you can start a puppy on soft puppy chow at about 4 to 5 weeks. These that you have should have teeth and can eat OK. They will need more than just 2% milk. Try a good puppy chow, start off with softened dry You will have to watch and make sure they don’t over eat. Usually they wont with dry. Be sure they have free choice of water. You might want to contact a vet .

Talk to your vet about their nutritional needs. They should NOT be on cows milk at this point. They should be eating puppy milk replacer. At this point, it is feesible to soak some high quality dry food in the puppy milk replacer and mix a little canned food in to make a mush sort of meal for them. But again, you really should talk to your vet about their needs, both nutritional and their vaccination needs. They are no longer getting proteins from mom to boost their immunity.

Kidding?? I sure hope so…

If their mom ran off, you should have used your computer to find out about how to care for ORPHANED puppies!

2% milk?? They make Puppy MILK Replacer for this very reason. You’re saying that you have ONLY given your dogs milk since their mom ran off?? C’mon.

You can introduce QUALITY puupy food right now, they should be eating kibble without complications.

You should start. 2% milk does not have enough fat or nutrience in it to keep them healthy for long. Buy a good brand of food such as Orijen soften it with some warm water to start and maybe even a little teaspoon of wet food.

uhg! Hun, dogs dont drink cow’s milk! Its bad for them!

Please take them to a vet and see if they need puppy formula still. Generally at that age they should be able to eat puppy food (wet mixed with dry), but you need to get them to a vet. Feeding them nothing but milk will give them none of the nutrients they need!
