Yes you can start mixing dry food with canned food. You may have to soften it with some warm water at first but they should be able to transition to plain dry food pretty soon. I would put the puppies on puppy food to help them grow. I recommend puppy food until they are 1 year old. The mom should be on adult food now that she isn’t nursing them anymore. I hope this helps.
