Question
I just bought 2 1 month old puppies, and i never had a dog before, i need help on what to feed it, when, and how much...i'm really excited about it, and i want to do things right, can you please help me out..?

Answer
4 weeks old is young for a pup to be away from it's mother.  

You want to start with a good quality puppy food. There are a lot of good ones on the market.   You may need to add some goats milk to the food to entice them to eat. Free feed them until they are full.  

Remember a pup that young has no immunities so it must be kept away from other dogs until their shots are all up to date. I would also recommend a deworming.

Good luck.
