I would not feed a pup canned food. Feed them puppy chow. Canned food will make your puppy a finicky dog.

You might want to give them a spoonful at a time otherwise it will come out very quickly and what a mess! Mix it with some dry puppyfood and they won’t get to much at one time.

i think you should feed them canned food when they are about 1 year old but until then you should feed them dry food.

I have been told that kibblies are the food for dogs.One thing it does helps keep the teeth clean

Next week they can eat canned dog food. I feed my puppies that when they’re 3 weeks old. You have to mix it with water to make it like gravy so the can eat it better. Its hard for them to chew and swallow it without water mixed with it. I use a Frisbee upside down to feed them for the first time. Its hard for them to stick their heads in high bowls. Feed them once a day, because they still need their mothers milk. I usually feed mine in the middle of the day, and they drink their mother’s milk from night to morning.
Send the mother to go play outside while the puppies eat the canned food, so she won’t distract them, or try to eat it all.
