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.
You can start introducing your puppies to solid food at three to four weeks of age. They will still be nursing at this point. Feed four times per day, gradually increasing the amount of food while the puppies decrease the time they spend nursing.ottle or Tube Feeding. Occasionally you will need to feed your puppies with a bottle or feeding tube. Use a quality puppy milk replacer, and feed every two hours for the first three days of life. Decrease to every three hours for the first week, and every four hours the second week.
