Hi I was just wondering what age do you start introducing water to your puppy?

Also what age did you stop giving them milk.

Thanks guys.

Ours have water when they are being weaned we dont give milk, what milk are you giving pup, cows milk is not good for them

Ahh right. I got mine at almost 9 weeks so perhaps that's why he was already on water.

How is she doing?

Surely a pup shouldn't leave mum if they still need milk? Pups should be weaned well before 8 weeks, he should have had access to water before he left the puppy farm and should have had access to water as soon as he got to your home.

Ours dont have any milk at all they are weaned straight onto puppy food with water available at all times so they leave us with a bottle of our water for the new owners to wean them onto their water over the next few days
