I have a large gundog breed. I start off with raw previously frozen beef steak mince rolled into little balls and given individually. Completely amazed at how easily they took to it!
Didn't bother with porridge, just soaked Arden Grange Puppy well & whisked to smooth porridge consistency. Never had a runny poo and pups were all great on it! Always gave some warm goats milk as "pudding" before letting mum in to top them all up. Pretty straightforward depending on the age you want to start weaning. Have previously weaned onto Skinners puppy but must say the extra price for the Arden Grange was worth every penny!
I'd make it as simple for yourself as possible, if you're weaning onto a good quality complete food such as Arden Grange, just make the porridge from this.
Good luck, this is where the fun starts!!
