Introducing Water. When they're about 3 weeks of age you can introduce puppies to water by providing a shallow water dish outside the whelping box or sleeping area. Puppies at this age are beginning to explore their environments and will be able to find the dish. They will invariably make a mess.
Canned food may be introduced to puppies as early as 4 weeks of age. You may also add water to dry dog food and offer it to the puppies at this time as well. Breast milk should be the only source of food after the pitbull pregnancy for your puppies until they are about three weeks old. It is best to start them on a food that is specially-designed for puppies. Offer them a good-quality, canned puppy food at about three weeks old.
