Hello
Please can I ask advise on what type of feed people think is best for weaning puppies? and at what age is best to Start?,they are small dogs Shih Tzu,s.
I have been looking at the James Wellbeloved puppy feed and soaking it to soften it for them,or would that be too rich at a young age?
Many thanks

Sorry on previous thread i put welping puppies,going mad!!

How old are they now??
I start weaning mine at around 2 weeks and use a premium dog food similar to James Wellbeloved

I used only the best raw lean steak mince at 2-3 weeks !
but then they were bull terriers

I started weaning at 2 1/2 weeks on raw minced tripe,and soaked burns puppy dry.

i aslo used raw beef mince from2 n half weeks and slowly started mixing it with soaked dry food similar 2 jwb the puppy version soaked should be fine for them

Thank you all for your replies,I would not have thought of raw mince,I would have been worried about any bacteria in the mince.
Re the jwb do you think it is best to use the dry variety and soak it?
How many meals would you recommend for them per day,should I start
gradually with one and then build it up per day?
The pups are only 2 days old at the moment,I will post some photos soon.
Thanks for the help

Good Luck whatever you decide.
Im sure ill be on before long asking the same question with my 2.
Keep us informed on his/her progress.
Xxx
