hi I'm Ron Murray with Montana Memory
kennels and this is how to get a five
week old puppy to eat so one of the
reasons that we want to start feeding a
puppy at five weeks of age is probably
because you're a breeder and you're
trying to figure out how to get the
puppies to eat or maybe you've come
across an abandoned puppy and you're
trying to get them more solid food so
they can actually be gaining a little
bit of weight so as we get ready to
think about how we're gonna get a puppy
Dee we have to think about what we're
going to feed them at the same time a
lot of times we always want to start
with just regular dry kibble well for
some puppies that works out just fine
but for a lot of puppies that they're
transitioning from momma dogs milk into
going trying to go into a hard Qibla
which can became too tough for
especially if you're really having a
difficult problem getting them do it so
what I have here is I have a bowl with
just some dry kibble in it and what I
did over here is I actually put some
warm water into this so with this having
warm water into it it softens it down
and makes it feel good it's not really
it's not completely soft there's still a
little bit of hard Center in there and
there's actually still some hard pieces
in here that the puppy has to get used
to crunching on we want them to get used
to that crunching motion so we can
actually just be feeding them a regular
full bowl of food so when you add your
water to it you're gonna really want to
make sure that that's good and mixed up
where it's easy for the puppy just to
pick it up with their mouth and just eat
as they go so when you start thinking
about how much food you're gonna
actually give the puppy one of the
things is we don't want to under feed
and we don't want to overfeed either
let's say you have a five week old puppy
that weighs only about three or four
pounds you're gonna need just a very
little bit amount of food maybe about a
quarter cup or so also you have to take
into account the breed the size and
maybe how much weight were really trying
to put onto the puppies if you're trying
to put a lot of weight on the puppies
you're gonna go with a high-fat
high-protein diet and if we're really
just looking at leaning the puppies up
because they just need to be weaned off
a mom you're gonna kind of cut back just
a little bit on what what you're what
you're doing for fat and protein content
so this is how you feed a five week old
puppy thank you very much
you
