A one-month-old puppy that eats a small amount of nutrient paste generally won’t be harmed. Nutrient paste is a pet-specific supplement rich in fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals that can supply what kibble and goat’s milk lack.
However, a one-month-old is still too young and its digestive system isn’t fully developed, so eating nutrient paste carries a risk of indigestion. It is generally recommended to wait until the puppy is about 3 months old before giving it a little.
If the puppy develops soft stools or mild diarrhea after eating nutrient paste, give an appropriate amount of probiotics to regulate its gut.
