Expert Answer

Puppies mostly wean at around 30–42 days of age. Weaning varies, but it generally happens at about 1–2 months. Stronger puppies may wean earlier, around one month, while weaker ones can nurse a bit longer.

If weaning is early, you can offer some goat milk formula afterward. At 40 days, try a little softened milk-cake food or gruel; after two months, switch fully to dry kibble.
