Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 2 days old

I have a 2 month old Siberian Husky. He's been eating crushed up dog food since he's been able to. But my question is when can he start eating normal puppy dog food?

You can start weaning Joey onto normal puppy food. To help him wean and to get used to dry food, I would soak a high quality puppy formulated dry food in warm water until soft. Then mix that with puppy formula such as KMR to make a mush the consistency of oatmeal. Over the next two weeks, gradually increase the amount of dry puppy food and decrease the amount of water and KMR you use until he is eating the dry puppy food only.
