Hi! I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya and just become a dog owner.
One of the local dogs in my village just had 3 adorable puppies and
they've fallen to me to care for. They're about 3 weeks old now, and
starting to eat solid foods. Does anyone have any suggestions for what
to feed them? I don't have access to meat (unless I kill a chicken,
which doesn't appeal to me), and any other tips? I would be eternally
grateful!

thanks,

Kathleen

Hi, I am Anders Jacobsson and my advice is to let the dogs stay
by it's mother as long as possible and then I urge you to find a
shelter where you can have them for at least 6 month.

Now Today:

1) Start to find foods for the dog at some shelter or ask/beg for
food for your puppys for you to use for free at least 6 month.

2) Do not keep them for yourself then to be responsible - get 3-4
friends to help you and "sell" the idea at once.

3) CHeck the physical conditions of the mother and puppy
and so forth...

My final advice is to be absolutely sure of that you are prepared
for the responsiblity..

Ok?
Take care
