5 week old pug puppies

19 10:54:05

Question
I have 3 pug puppies that are 5 weeks old. I have been bottle feeding them since birth. (the mother rejected them) I started today feeding them dry dog food that had been moistened with water. How many times a day should they eat this. And should they still be bottle fed? They seem to be healthy. Thanks

Answer
No they don't need bottle feeding any more. I would offer them wet food a minimum of four times per day. You can mix and match that with some milk replacer on the side for another week or so :)
Sounds like you did a great job
Don't forget to vaccinate
