When Can Pomeranians Stop Eating Soaked Food? A Guide to Dry Food Transition


Zooplus DE

At two months old, Pomeranian puppies still require their kibble to be soaked to soften it. However, you can gradually reduce the soaking time. By the time they reach three months old, they should be able to eat dry food without needing to have it soaked first.

Generally, by the time a Pomeranian puppy is three months old, they are ready to transition to dry food. When softening kibble, avoid using boiling water as it can destroy nutrients. Instead, use warm water for soaking. Importantly, do not discard the water after soaking, as it contains valuable nutrients. Starting at two months, you can gradually decrease the soaking time to help your puppy adapt to the increasing firmness of the food. The goal is for the puppy to be eating dry food completely by three months of age. Once your puppy reaches three months, it’s time to switch to a high-quality dry puppy food. Opting for a natural food is recommended since natural food is rich in nutrients and helps reduce tear stains. You might find a good selection of natural brands on E-pet. When introducing a new brand, mix it with the old one gradually, increasing the amount of new food over a seven-day period. This ensures a smooth transition and avoids digestive upset. Remember to consult with your vet for the best dietary advice for your puppy's specific needs.
