At this young age your puppy should still be nursing and does not necessarily need puppy food. If Simba is no longer nursing for whatever reason then I would recommend feeding him a high quality puppy food moistened with milk replacer. I recommend Hills, Science Diet, Royal Canin or Purina. Once he is about 6 weeks old he can be exclusively on puppy food. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck!
