when is the best time to start weaning puppies
My cavalier king charles had 4 puppies, she's feeding them well herself and eating plenty. However she is staying out of the pen a lot longer during the day now (pups seem fine with this and are still asleep a lot when the house is quiet during the day.) They are soon to be 4 weeks old and i had this in mind for starting weaning... does this sound right
Also, she is still cleaning up after the puppies when in with them, i am assuming this will stop when they are on foods. is this true?

Have plenty of newspapers in stock as not only will they have mucky feet from the food, as you say the mum will stop cleaning them up and you would be surprised how far a tiny puppy poo can spread! This is the best time for puppy watching, so hope you have plenty of free time.
