AT WHAT AGE SHOULD I START WEENING ON TO DRY FOOD ALONE ?THE PUPPY WILL BE 8WEEKS WHEN I GET HER cant wait also does anyone think wagg dog will b ok to feed her know its not the best food but will it be ok thanks everyone this site is really usefull and full of good dog people to many dogs in shelters at the moment so it is good to see responible people on here thanxs

Zeus has been on dry food ever since we got him at 8 weeks old.
From 8 weeks to 12 weeks, we fed him four times a day (8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm), then 12 weeks to 6 months, it'll be three times a day (8am, 2pm, 8pm) and then twice a day up until a year old.

Occassionally, I give him scrambled eggs or boiled egg but I've never given him weetabix. I always give him puppy milk from Pets At Home before he goes to sleep which he loves and is fine with his tummy. But I gave him goats milk one night as it was a little cheaper and the next morning, he puked everywhere in his crate. After that, I switched back to PAH puppy milk.

There are alot worse foods out there than Waggs but I wouldn't recommend it. Have a look at the list of recommended dry foods:

Aww I bet you're right excited!

I think I've heard people on here say porridge is better than weetabix? And goats milk ok, I give Saffy a little bit everyday. You could water it down with water if its too rich.

Anyway you can feed your pup on total dry food straight away. She probably won't eat much at first anyway as she will be adjusting. I'd recommend probably something like Wainwrights if you're on a budget. Saffy was weaned on it and others on here say it's pretty good.

Zeus is currently on Wainwrights at the moment. I did move him onto Applaws which is much dearer and a better quality food IMO, but he wasn't suited to it. It was too rich for him and he couldnt digest it, hence why hes back on Wainwrights.

A pup should be fully weaned at 8 weeks so you should be able to just feed dog/puppy food.

Avoid Wagg! It's really is a bad food. Skinners field and trial is the best for that kind of price

ETA: I wouldn't give weetabix, it's just wheat and dogs don't get anything from it, it can also cause allergy problems.

You should be feeding whatever the breeder is feeding for a week or two until the pup settles in then gradually change over to the food you want to feed.

No, I wouldn't give weetabix either. If you want to give a 'soft' meal then porridge in the morning is ok, preferably made with goats milk instead of cows milk.
