What do you wean your puppies onto?

• What do you wean your puppies onto? jettababy Posted : 8/23/2011 3:49:55 PM The pup that I am handraising is doing very well. Gaining weight, has a big appetite, seems healthy and content. He is still on the bottle, but I know I'll have to think about weaning in the upcoming weeks.  Just so that I'm prepared, what is the best thing to wean a puppy onto? I read online that  milk formula mixed with ground puppy food to create a mush is the best thing. I also read rice cereal and milk.  I've never had to wean a pup before so would like some input in what worked for those of you have have experience. Also, I don't know if this makes a difference on feeding, but I still don't know what breed he is.  He is still tiny so I would assume a small breed. He is getting chunkier and a bit longer, but I just don't see him turning into a big dog (he still fits into my hand).  Thanks LIKE 4 REPLIES 893 VIEWS LAST POST JETTABABY Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sl2crmeg Posted : 8/30/2011 6:31:23 AM I've heard of people weaning onto Honest Kitchen :) Not something I know much about, but I remember reading it somewhere. Their customer service is EXCELLENT and I bet the folks there might have some insight. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jettababy Posted : 8/30/2011 2:08:23 PM Ok, thanks for the ideas. He is just now starting to lick things rather than suck, so I bet pretty soon he will be able to eat a soft mixture. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
