If you haven't started giveing the dog moistened food it won't be until the mom decides that enough is enough. Get a quality puppy food add warm water and let it sit for a while. Thne put it in front of the puppy but watch momma she will want it as it is different than what she normally gets.

You should be weaning the pup by now, actually the pup should be just about completely weaned by now. Start with soaking some cereal (and by that I mean from the organic aisle in the grocery store, perferably without corn, and NO dyes) or puppy food - make sure it's mushy and soggy. Cut down on the time the pup spends with mom. Gradually cut down on the water added to the food until he's eating dry.
Feed him a couple times a day.

8 weeks is the max.. and if the mommy doesnt want them to then she would make them stop... another thing is you can start them on wet dog food or put water on the dry dog food to make it moist and soft... try giving them that once to twice a day for the next couple weeks.. this way the puppies will get their food from something other than their mommy... REMEMBER the longer the pups are with their mother the better the pups turn out to be! And of course human interaction!!

At 4 weeks puppys can start eating mushed up puppy food. By 5 to 6 weeks old they should be able to eat puppy food with no problem. If you can put the puppies in area away from mom.

The mother will not allow the pup to keep suckeling if it hurts her too bad. Don't worry too much about it. This is a natural thing for them.

he should be old enough now. She should nip at him. Whenever you see the pup suck on her, then pull it away. It is usually 5 or 6 weeks old.
