During the weaning process, mix Royal Canin Size Health Nutrition Small Breed Starter Mother & Babydog Dry Puppy Food with warm water to create a porridge-like consistency. This softens the kibble and makes it easier for young puppies to eat as they transition from nursing to solid food. Gradually decrease the amount of water added over time to help puppies get accustomed to the texture of dry food. Additionally, provide fresh water alongside the softened food to ensure puppies stay hydrated during this critical stage of development
