Should I give my puppy milk? He is a Jack Russel
He is nearly 6 weeks old ,but he has been sick twice and ,always nipping ,
No milk! Milk will give that pup the runs! Puppies do not need cows milk. 6 weeks is weaned and he needs Puppy kibble. Milk will make your puppy sick and have severe diarrhea. Even older dogs can't drink it. I love milk and many times have some left over, but will not give it to my dogs. I do believe in giving my dogs some foods but milk is not one of them and puppies do not get anything but Puppy food.
I have had puppies that have allergies to some Puppy chows and need to go to another Puppy Chow.
Puppy chow has a mixture of a milk close to the Mother's milk. Many dog mothers have weaned their litters at 4 to 5 weeks? It is safe for the puppy to start kibble at the onset of getting teeth. I soften my kibble with water. I may grind it up in the blender if the puppies teeth are just starting in and Mom is trying to wean early.
Call your Vet's Office you can get this information over the phone. While you are on the phone make an appointment to get your puppy in for a check up and it's Puppy schedule of vaccinations. And a test for worms.
Puppy's are like babies and need to see their doctor on a regular basis the first weeks of their lives.
