Is Wolfworthy suitable for weaning a puppy?Updated 14 days ago
Weaning your puppy onto high-quality food from the start helps set them up for a healthy, happy life. Wolfworthy Original 80/20 and Oily Fish 80/20 are nutritionally complete, making them an excellent choice for weaning.
How to Wean Your Puppy
Start at 3-4 Weeks Old. Offer a small amount of Wolfworthy soaked in water to help your puppy adjust to the texture and taste.
How to Prepare the Food:
✔ Soak overnight in the fridge and mash the next day or
✔ Add hot water, let it soak for 1 hour, then break up with a fork
🚫 Avoid leaving it to soak for more than an hour at room temperature, as warm weather can encourage bacterial growth.
Why Does Wolfworthy Take Longer to Soften?
Unlike lower-quality foods, Wolfworthy has a high meat content and no grains, so it won’t turn to paste quickly. This ensures your pup gets the best protein-rich start in life.
Gradually Reduce Water – Once puppies are eating happily, reduce the amount of water over the next few weeks. By 8 weeks old, they should be eating the food dry.
Hand-Feeding for a Positive Start – Offering pieces from your hand encourages puppies to associate food with human interaction, supporting positive early training.
How Much to Feed? There’s no strict amount during weaning - let puppies guide the pace and ensure everyone gets a fair share. Once they’re eating dry food, start weighing portions for the right amount.
