How many weeks before a puppy chihuahua can start eating solids?


My chihuahua dog gave birth to 5 puppies

I would say 6 to 8 weeks-let them stay with mom as long as they need to she will wean them! sounds like you are blessed

Between 3 to 4 weeks. Watch momma dog, she will let you know it's time or she will make them do it herself. When you see her pushing the puppies away from her ****, you need to introduce them to it. Personally, I would keep the food on the floor about the 2ND week so they have access to it and let them and mom do the work. Congratulations!! DOGS RULE!!

wow! congradulations! I think most dogs start eating solids when they are around 8-10 weeks old start out with something soft like baby food then gradually work up to harder soilds like puppy chow.

I would say about 6 to 8 weeks.
