Are you raising a litter of Basset Hound puppies without the presence of the mother? This can be a challenging task. Make sure you talk to your vet for helpful tips and suggestions especially when it comes to the weaning process. In general, the weaning process can start as early as three or four weeks of age. As orphans the puppies are most likely being bottle fed on a routine basis. You will want to start the weaning process by cutting back on the bottle feedings and instead providing the pups with canine milk replacer in a bowl. The next step will be to introduce moistened puppy chow specifically chosen for your Basset Hounds. Once the puppies have taken to the moistened food try introducing regular dry or canned food. Learn more tips and suggestions for picking a puppy food or give your animal hospital Tampa, FL a call. Schedule an appointment today for complete information.
