Introducing Water. When they're about 3 weeks of age you can introduce puppies to water by providing a shallow water dish outside the whelping box or sleeping area. Puppies at this age are beginning to explore their environments and will be able to find the dish. They will invariably make a mess.
By the time the puppies are 6Â½-7 weeks of age, they should be fully weaned from the dam's milk, eating dry food, and drinking water. If the weaning is not rushed, she will naturally start decreasing milk production, as the puppies increase their intake of solid food.y the time the puppies are 6Â½-7 weeks of age, they should be fully weaned from the dam's milk, eating dry food, and drinking water.
