🐶 First Taste of Mush – Let the Mess Begin! 🥣🐾 (January 2025 litters)

Big milestone alert—our Birdie & Tree litters just had their first taste of puppy mush, and it was absolutely ADORABLE! 🥰 Watching them plunge face-first into their food, paws in the bowl, tails wagging, and little tongues slurping was priceless!

At around 3.5 weeks old, their little teeth are starting to come in, and they are ready to begin the weaning process. While they’re still nursing with mom, introducing mush helps them learn how to lap, chew, and transition to solid food.

🥣 What is Puppy Mush?

Mush is a soft, easy-to-eat blend of high-quality puppy food soaked in warm water or milk replacer until it reaches a porridge-like consistency. It’s gentle on their little tummies and packed with nutrition to support their growth!

🐾 First Reactions:

✨ Some puppies dove right in, licking and lapping up the mush enthusiastically!

✨ Others were a bit unsure at first, dipping their noses in before deciding it was delicious!

✨ A few decided to stand in the bowl—because why not?! 😆

✨ There were messy faces, mushy paws, and lots of happy tummies!

💡 What’s Next?

Now that they’ve had their first taste, we’ll gradually introduce mush more often, helping them become more independent eaters. Over the next couple of weeks, they’ll get better at eating without wearing half of it! 😂

Mommas Dolly & Reba are still nursing them, but soon, they’ll start naturally weaning as the puppies become more comfortable with eating solid food.

🐶 Future puppy families—get ready for some happy, food-loving puppies! 💛
