Well, they all have to eat so right away!

But seriously, start as a puppy with puppy chow. At about maybe 1-2 years then move on to regular dog chow and at age 7 dogs are considered senior citizens so give them senior dog chow. I would reccomend consulting with your veterinarian about a specific care plan for your dog's personal needs.

It's common for dogs to be hesitant to eat when their food is suddenly changed due to taste preferences or digestive issues.

Can a dog eat sauerkraut?

Yes, your dog can eat cabbage. Fruits and veggies are usually good for your dog, and will let your dog live longer. My friend's dog is about 13 years old, and it's very healthy. However, if you are giving your dog any type of fruit or vegetable, you must make sure it is not in a large chunk. If it is, your dog might choke. It is best to mash it, or cut it into small pieces so your dog can eat cabbage or any fruit, vegetable...


Is six weeks old enough for a puppy to eat hard dog food?

It is generally recommended to wait until a puppy is at least 8 weeks old before introducing them to hard dog food.

It's best to consult your veterinarian for specific advice based on your puppy's breed and size.
