Right now I give her canned dog food(from the Vet) and milk replacement. She is a american bulldog mixed with a english bulldog and she is 4 weeks old. She just got out of the hospital a week ago, she was born with heartworms and had to have a blood tranfusion. She already has her puppy teeth so when would it be ok to give her dry dog food?

You can try and see if she's able to eat it. What you can also do to start her off, is to moisten the dry food with water, and it might be a little easier for her to chew it

You can offer it to her now - mix a little in with the moist food. She'll gradually start to eat more and more of it as she gets a little older. It's very important that they start to eat the harder food as soon as possible so their teeth will be strong.

i would wait until she is is at least 6 weeks old before putting her on dry dog food. then try her on just a little ,and see how she handles it. if she cant wait a few more weeks.eventually she will be able to handle it.

it is good 2 feed your pup dry food when they are about 2or3 months old and are done teehing (already lost there teeth).

Sure you can, just make sure it's formulated for "puppies".

If she can eat it, give it to her.
