Hello. That is a lot of milk replacer to be using! Fortunately, you can completely stop using it as the puppies do not need it anymore. I would probably do only 1 milk feed a day for 2 days then 1 milk feed every other day for 2 additional feedings & then stop. Continue feeding the puppies 3 times a day, and if they seem very hungry once you stop the milk, add one more puppy food meal. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
