Puppies can start weaning from their mother at around 3-4 weeks of age. At that point, they can begin to eat soft puppy food and transition from nursing. It's important to monitor their progress and make sure they are getting proper nutrition during the weaning process.

Does it hurt the mother when puppies drink her milk?

Typically, puppies are weaned off their mother's milk by 6-8 weeks of age.

It's important to monitor the puppies' behavior and ensure they are eating and drinking independently before fully weaning them.

How many times a day should a dog feed her puppies?
Usually by the time a puppy is 3 weeks old, they will start getting their baby teeth in! In my experience, the mothers I bred started weaning the puppies, when they were about 5-6 weeks old, because with the teeth and the puppies nursing, it starts to hurt the mother. Their nails also get long and sharp and that also hurts mom, so it helps mom alot, if you keep them trimmed! You can start introducing puppy gruel to the puppies, when they are 3-4 weeks old, but they will still be nursing from mom also!
