Just about to start weaning pups ,has any one got ingrediants for puppy porridge.

A lot of breeders start weaning with a mixture of mince beef and puppy formula.  Looks sort of like a pink gruel if you use a blender.  Our last litter wouldn't eat until 5 weeks.  Luckily there was only 4 pups, mum had lots of milk and they were very fat.

mine are 4weeks and have only just started to eat over the last 4days ,i started with beef and milk ,tried socked meal thay wouldnt touch it ,but now thay are !! good luck its a mesy time lol :)

I have started any time after eyes open if weight gain a bit slow and pups seemed hungry.

I usually start at 18 days so that by the time I worm them they are having solids.

I have had pups who Mum has done really well show little or not interest until over 4 weeks of age, each litter is different as to when pups are ready for this stage.

I generally wean from 3 weeks old onto Arden Grange Weaning food, well soaked like a porridge consistency & warm. Mine love it & once they are on it I never look back.
I have used the Pedigree Weaning Porridge on a litter when the bitch had no milk & I weaned the pups at 10 days old. They were ready for it & once they were lapping that up the mothers milk started to appear!

Similar to you Weima except I don't bother with the weaning food but put them straight onto the puppy food using Nutrolac goats milk based puppy formula to make the porridge.

I prefer to start pups on what Mum is being fed (Prestige or Puppy) mixed with the milk, and gradually increase, then reduce phase out the milk during weaning.

I don't give mine meat until they are well established on the kibble as meat will always get preference from pups, and most new owners will feed complete.

I like mine to have meat at one meal a day from 4 weeks for those owners who may want to go onto a more natural feeding regime.

> weaning food but put them straight onto the puppy food

Do you mean the Puppy/Junior? I start off on Weaning/Puppy [the tiny kibble]

Yes the puppy Junior, I find the tiny kibble of the weaning puppy at 32% protein too rich to use with milk.

I have in the past used weaning puppy AG for all my litters, no problems, but i never added  milk, now i use Happy Dog and they love it.
