You can begin introducing wet puppy food and water around when the puppy is at least 3 weeks old although it can take a little while for the puppies to get used to eating the puppy food and drinking the water but they'll eventually learn.

You can feed the puppy dry dog food once the puppy gets it's teeth in but until then you can feed the puppy some wet dog food.

Around 4 to 6 weeks of age the puppy is usually drinking water and eating puppy food fully and no longer needing to or wanting to feed off it's mother.

The mother will naturally wean the puppy off it's breasts so there's no need for you to do anything to wean them off the mother dog other than feeding them puppy food and putting out some milk or water for them to drink.
