What do 2 month year old puppies eat?

theirs five puppies,Lab-mix,.
Answers:
Find a good quality puppy food.that they will continue to eat until they are at least a year old. DO NOT feed them milk, most pets are lactose intolerent and this will cause diarrhea.
puppy chow, I guess, or maybe warm milk
Two month old puppies are ready to be weaned, get puppy chow and soak it in water and let the food soak up all of the water.And put it in a large dish that is very wide but not very deep, that way all the puppies can eat together. Have some rags and water handy because they will get very messy.As they get used to real food wean them from the water and dry food mixed and just feed them dry puppy food.And remember you get what you pay for when it comes to dog food, look at the labels and make sure the main ingredient is either beef,chicken,or some type of meat. Not corn or any of that crap.
We fed our black lab (he's now 2.5 years old) Purina for Puppies when he was that young. Then for some reason, magically at a year old he got disgusted with puppy food and would not eat it anymore. So that's when we switched to adult dog food and he loves it to this day. Congrats on your new puppy! :)
All puppies should be put on a good brand of dry puppy food,but some pups won't eat this without mixing a small amount of good brand of canned puppy food.I usually soak the dry kibbles in warm water til softened,then mix the canned food in,they usually love this mixture.I use the Iams Dry and the Pedigree puppy canned food.
They can eat a good quality puppy food mixed with enough warm water to moisten it. As they get older, cut down on the water until they are eating the puppy food dry. Make sure the puppy food is small bits. I always fed Purina puppy food.
Good luck
