Best Answer

A five week old puppy should be getting their mother's milk until they are weaned at six weeks. If this isn't possible ask your vet what type of food your puppy should have. - Try boiling rice,minced meat and tiny bits of veggies and MASH it all up together. If the puppy won't eat that, Try bottle feeding with with regular baby formula 3 times a day.

If the puppy is only 5 weeks old, it is most likely going to be drinking milk from it's mother. BUT, if it is away from it's mother, feed it wet food. You can get puppy wet food at most of your local pet stores- Petco, Petsmart, etc.

Puppies should not be separated from their mother until they are eight-weeks old. Between 6 and 8-weeks begin feeding your puppy 3 to 4-times a day, with a well-balanced puppy food.

You can start giving them some puppy food with water mixed in, then gradually give them the food dry.

The amount that the puppy needs.

Normally, you would have the water out for the puppy to drink from it freely.

If it costs 90 to feed a family of 3 for one week how much will it cost to feed a family of 5 for one week?

90 to feed a family of 3 for a week => 30 to feed one for a week => 30*5 to feed a family of 5 for a week ie 150. However, this assumes that it costs the same to feed adults and children in a family (unlikely), and that there are no economies of scale (also unlikely).
