AT WHAT AGE SHOULD I START INTRODUCING SOLID FOOD TO MY THREE WEEK OLD GSD PUPPIES? THANKS FOR THE ADVICE! I JUST NOW STARTED THEM ON THEIR WORMINGS.

Depending on mum and or number of puppies.

I have a litter of 5 puppies ATM, they are 4 weeks old and mum is coping very well but in the next few days will start to introduce them to solid food. Not because they need it but just to help mum out.

With some litters I will start to introduce solids at 3 weeks.

At 3 weeks old...or as soon as the puppies begin to get their teeth in...You begin them on learning how to eat out of a bowl...Milk...then onto more and more solid foods...You never know when Mama is gonna say...Enough is Enough...and...I'm Outa Here...
Somewhere between 3 weeks and 4 weeks of age I also being them eating RAW Chicken...No bones...just Meat...The first time you bring the Chicken to their whelping box watch the puppy's noses...They begin to learn how to use their noses too...
As far as wormings...You worm the puppies and Mama at 2 weeks of age and every 2 weeks from then on...
