At 2 weeks old, they aren't any where near eating regular food yet and should still be on mom's milk.

The best is mothers milk they shouldn't even start being weaned untilo they are about 4 weeks.
If for some reason mom can't feed tehm then they should be on puppy replacement milk.

First, where is the mom, and why isn't she taking care of her puppies. If she can't, go to your local pet store and they have newborn puppy food there. You will ahve to feed them every 2-3 hours all day and night.
And, you should also call your vet to see if there is anything else you need to be doing for them.
Good Luck

The best food for 2 week old puppies is milk from their mother..they should not be getting anything else at this point.

Where is the Momma? They need atleast 3 wks on her breast milk at the least and usually 8 wks is standard. If she is gone u need formula for them and can bottle feed. The Mom eats the poop too. Call a vet in your area. I fed ours a mix of canned and alot of milk after a few weeks and they went to water and Puppy Chow. Still on Mom. Give them alot of room to make a big ole mess.
We had 3 litters of ten each with Melekai our Ridgeback Lab. On a boat and in a Winnebago. I miss them all. She is now fixed.
Best of luck to you. They are adorable and a joy to watch grow. It happens way too fast.

If they are not still with their mother or nursing from their mother, you should go to a well-known pet store (such as Petsmart), and ask them about feeding them animal formula. I bottle-fed kittens with powdered kitty milk (it comes in a pop-top can). You mix one part powder with 2 parts water in a special baby bottle for animals. (I'm sure they have the same thing for puppies). You should give this to them up until about 5 or 6 weeks.

2 weeks old, they should still be nursing from their mother! please take my advise and go to your local vet and speak with them. if they are not eating then i'm sure that your vet will recommend a formula blend and you will have to feed them by bottle approx. every 2 hours until they are old enough to eat solid food on their own. good luck but please go to a vet and speak with them about this issue.

at that age, they should still be on pure mother's milk, however eventually you should get them onto a raw meat and kibble diet, it's the best one for young pups so they can grow up strong and healthy.
