Title: Re: 5 week old Post by: Caughtandhobbled on March 17, 2009, 01:29:35 am I am no expert, but I have raised a few litters over the years. What works for us is simply filling the feed bowl 2/3 full with feed and topping the bowl with water. This gives the pups a gravy like substance that the pups will like the taste of and get them interested in the flavor of the dog food. This will also soften up the dog food and in no time they will be eating up the dry food. Hope this helps....
