at 3 weeks I start my puppies one cottage cheese and raw hamburger.. warmed slightly to release the juices.. they LOVE it! They take to eating solids like nobody's business and weaning seems to be a lot easier, in my experience. After a week or so I will start adding mushed kibble, gradually decreasing the meat/cheese ration and increasing the kibble ratio..
