When to Start Weaning. Start introducing puppies to puppy food at the age of 3.5 weeks. This allows you to gradually transition them from their mother's milk to solid puppy food. By the time they are independent at 8 weeks old, they should be eating solid food.hen to Start Weaning. Start introducing puppies to puppy food at the age of 3.5 weeks.

Although puppy formulas may be tailored for young dogs, many dog foods are appropriate for multiple life stages. I generally recommend that large breed puppies (such as Labrador Retrievers) stay on large breed puppy food until they are 12 â 18 months old. I recommend this because of the hip dysplasia-reducing effects of these diets. However, that benefit may be marginal.
