We have a mama dog who had 8 puppies. They are currently about 3 1/2 weeks old. She is not wanting to feed them as much as they need to be fed. Please help!

when the puppies get there teeth in you should set out some puppy chow that has been soaked in water until it is mushy,and slowly add dry food until the puppies eat it dry(about 7 to 8 weeks old)

The mother will usually start weaning them on her own between 6-8 weeks of age, so at around 6 weeks you should make available a soft, soupy puppy food and help them gradually transition to solid food.
