What can puppies eat? Puppies about one month old are still nursing, mainly drinking the mother dog’s milk to satisfy hunger and supplement nutrition. If this is insufficient, you can properly add goat milk. Puppies in their first month mainly rely on mother’s milk, with weaning occurring between 30-50 days. Besides goat milk, you can also add some puppy kibble and canned puppy food. Puppies eat less and their digestive systems are developing, so each feeding should not be too much; about seventy to eighty percent full is enough, aiming for less food but more meals. Feed more than 4 times a day.

Weaned puppies may feel uncomfortable at first, with poorer appetite and weaker immunity. So in early weaning, choose easily digestible and tasty foods, such as puppy milk biscuits, puppy kibble, porridge mixed with broth or egg yolk. Soak the kibble in warm water before feeding. Feed at least 4 times a day. For puppies with poor appetite just after weaning, feed less tasty food first, then tastier food to maintain appetite. Do not overfeed to avoid picky eating or anorexia.

What can puppies eat? At 7 months, dogs mainly grow taller. After this age, they are no longer called puppies and can eat adult dog food. But at any stage, the diet must be scientifically balanced and not too monotonous. Some owners think puppies need extra nutrition for growth and feed a lot of meat with few other foods. This is unscientific and burdens the puppy’s digestive system, affecting digestion. Therefore, when raising puppies, all aspects must be carefully considered, especially during the puppy period, which requires extra care.
