Hi I have six 4 week old toy poodle puppies. I am trying to get them to eat softened food. Any ideas?

Have they been weaned yet ? At four weeks they are probably still looking for a nipple and not quite ready for other food. I suggest you call your vet and see he has any ideas; they are actually quite young yet.

No they have not been weaned yet. We were planning on doing it when they turne 6 weeks but we wanted them to be eating good.

Why don't you just let nature take its course and wait until they are completely ready to go on dog food. They will get used to the idea when they are ready, and their mom thinks they are ready.
