Question about puppy development?

How long until puppies are able to urinate/defecate on their own?





How long until the mother will stop being so protective of them?





What age will their teeth start growing in?





What age can I start feeding them puppy food?

Question about puppy development?
Most puppies ween at 8 weeks, this is when they can be taken from their mother, and by this time they will have stopped suckling from her and can be fed puppy food. This is also the point where they should be "going potty" outside or however you are choosing to train them.





By about 7 or 8 weeks they will be getting their baby teeth and within a few months of them growing in, they will fall out and they will get their adult teeth.





Until they have all their teeth in (baby or adult) you will want to feed them soft puppy food, or if you are using kibble, mix some water in with it to soften it up. After all their teeth are in, start using hard food to keep their teeth healthy.
