What to feed 4 week old puppies when starting to wean onto solid food part 1

it's Tuesday morning the puppies are four weeks old exactly today and we just started last week 20 own over the weekend to start to introduce some solid or semi-solid fee we're using Bert Bern's puppy Minnie and which is very nice quality small bite dog food and the aim is by the time the puppies leave us they will be eating this dry and currently and obviously they're eating it in a very sloppy mixture made up with and this puppy milk so we're going to make the puppy milk up and then we'll add it to the puppy food will only make up a small quantity of see on this stage because we really want to just have enough food so that the peppers will eat it all in one sitting and the public's are still getting most of their intake their calories for mum who's doing really well West feeding them and the other dogs are having a nosy to see what's going on and we like the bones our puppy food and we actually use it as a treat with some of our smaller dogs now because they like it so much and also what we found with the band's food although it's more expensive and some of the brands of dog food we've tried quite a few of them with our older dogs and we found that this this suits their tummies the best and they will maintain their weight very nasty on burns the adults drops on burns and is it bears working yeah working with fans working a mix which suits them very well and we do fun to get a lot less wind with it because you want to make so we're making the lacteal up to the recommended concentrations which is two level scoops to a hundred and five mils of hot water mix the milk formula in and what I'm going to add is approximately thirty grams of the burns puppy Minnie into that it's a bit like making a puppy food smooth and this kettle really is just boiled so this has now got to sit and what will happen is the the puppy food will absorb quite a bit of the liquid get very mushy and then before we're serving it to the puppies because they're so young and their teeth are only just coming through we are going to liquidize that with a so it forms a complete mush and brows just show them the salt we're using basically you want to get the puppy food once it's absorbed the milk it should still be quite liquidy and then you just blend the whole thing with this so effectively you make him a puppy food smoothie if it's too thick we'd add some more milk to it have some of the puppy milk just to thin it down and you want it at this stage it quite a runny consistency and so the puppies are sort of lapping it up and the mic then there won't be very many lumps in it at all so it's very very easy for them to eat and and gradually as they can older will allow the food to be more lumpy and then quite lumpy and then by the end they should be on to the drive food we found our seven puppies will eat this volume of food and approximately five to ten minutes but just about clearing the bowl now just letting them in to finish it off when we find that they are wanting more or gradually increase the volumes frequency wise we're feeding them at the moment twice a day finding that's about right mum still feeding them with her milk but she's increasingly spending shorter periods of time in with the puppies feeding them think that's a combination of her getting a little sore now as their teeth come through but also they're getting much stronger and vigorous in their sucking okay I think we'll wind it up there because it's a little bit boring just look at the puppy food and the blender and sodium I will show you we'll show you later on we'll be feeding the puppies bye for now
