At about 3 weeks I mix baby cereal (rice & oatmeal), canned milk or chicken broth and raw ground turkey or chicken together into a gruel. Stick the pups in front of the dish and they eat just fine. Move on to adding soaked kibble instead of the cereal within a week or so. Then less liquid, etc. etc. Joannie Dream Come True Shepherds Home of Jaccar-Rivendell's Brianne, HT, PT, TC, ROM, OFA CH Dream Come True-Rivendell's Fandango, HT, TC, OFA ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
