hi ya its me again i wanted to ask when the best time to start weening the puppys,they are very big,they look like little pot bellied pigs.a couple of people have told me not to start them an solids untill 5 weeks others have said 2 to 3 weeks,just wondering if it makes a difference bebause they are large or because they are a large breed anyway. debb

Admin edited. Moved to feeding

I start weaning my litters at about 3 weeks, if that's any help. Either a teaspoon of scraped beef, or a teaspoon of well-soaked puppy food (so that it is a mush) is plenty for the first few days.

I generally start around 3 weeks, last litter gave them some chicken wings to play with then some minced meat to eat.
