What should I feed my 2-month-old puppy? Can they drink milk?

Congrats on your new puppy, Honey is very cute! No, it is not right to feed her milk, especially cow's milk. Dairy productions should never be fed to dogs due to GI upset, and milk alone is not a balanced diet for a puppy. It will not be providing her with the nutrients she needs to grow properly. Puppies need higher amounts of protein, calories, and calcium than adult dogs, and a puppy formulated food will give that to her. It may be that she isn't used to puppy food yet, and I can give you a method to try to get her used to puppy food. To help her get used to puppy food, I would soak a high quality puppy formulated dry food in warm water until soft. Then mix that with puppy formula such as KMR to make a mush the consistency of oatmeal. Over the next two weeks, gradually increase the amount of dry puppy food and decrease the amount of water and KMR you use until she is eating the dry puppy food only.

She is really too young to be separated from her mother. Puppies should stay with mom until 8 weeks of age. If there is anyway for her to stay with her mother that is the best option. At one month old she still needs milk so if she can't be with her mom you will need to bottle fee her milk replacer like Royal Canin Babymilk.

Congratulations on adding the puppies to your family! The main food for the puppies should be an AAFCO certified puppy food. These diets are fortified and so they contain to proper amounts of Calcium, Phosphorus, protein and other essential components for proper growth and development. I recommend to look for well known brands with good reputations like Royal Canin, Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Nutro or Purina. Here is a link about feeding puppies: https://www.petcoach.co/article/feeding-puppies-what-when-how/ If you want to add something extra to the food (but keep in mind this is not needed and can create a dog who is a picky eater), you can add plain white or brown rice, boiled white meat chicken (white meat ONLY), canned organic pumpkin, peas, carrots, green beans, eggs whites or a few tablespoons of canned dog food. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Determine how much to feed a puppy can certainly be quite confusing! I'm glad to hear that you are offering Bourbon food four times per day. In another month, you can decrease his feeding to three times a day, and eventually twice per day. The Royal Canin Maxi Starter food is great for growing puppies! By 2 months of age, Bourbon should be able to start chewing through dry kibble, so you can start to wean him off of the water soaked kibble over the next few weeks. Cerelac is not a necessary component of any dog's diet, so I would recommend stopping that and strictly feeding the balanced puppy food. Based upon the feeding guide for your puppy food, Bourbon should eat around 250 - 260 gm per day, meaning that he should eat around 60 - 65 gm per meal. Congratulations on adopting your new little puppy and I hope this helps!

Yes you can start mixing dry food with canned food. You may have to soften it with some warm water at first but they should be able to transition to plain dry food pretty soon. I would put the puppies on puppy food to help them grow. I recommend puppy food until they are 1 year old. The mom should be on adult food now that she isn’t nursing them anymore. I hope this helps.

No, I don't recommend that at all. A one month of age, he is old enough to be weaned onto puppy food. To help Rudy wean and to get used to dry food, I would soak a high quality puppy formulated dry food in warm water until soft. Then mix that with puppy formula such as KMR to make a mush the consistency of oatmeal. Over the next two weeks, gradually increase the amount of dry puppy food and decrease the amount of water and KMR you use until he is eating the dry puppy food only.

Puppies are usually weaned off of Mom around this age so yes he can survive just fine. He should be eating puppy food since he likely has all his puppy teeth, just double check since some pets are late bloomers. I would suggest a high quality dog food such as Hill’s Science Diet, Royal Canin, or Natural Balance. You should feed him three times a day and the amount of food fed should be based off of the guidelines right on the bag of the brand you choose. You can go with a canned food for now then switch to dry (if desired) when she is around 7-8 weeks of age. Best of luck with your cute puppy. Take care!
