What age to introduce water.

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.

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

How is she doing?

Re: What age to introduce water.

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.

Re: What age to introduce water.

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
