I think a big part of these interminable arguments about tabs is based on people using the same words to mean different things. In the following, I'm trying to avoid espousing my personal religion here, I just thought it would be good to try and explain the various sects. Anyway.
Puppies may be placed in new homes once they are eating well on their own. However, they will be better adjusted and make better pets by staying and interacting with littermates and the Mom-dog until they are at least eight weeks old--older generally is better.
Feeding your Puppy. Puppies should get solid food starting at about four weeks, when they're not able to get all the calories they need from their mother's milk. Most puppies are weaned by six weeks. Puppies younger than eight weeks, you may need to moisten dry food until it feels spongy.
