Feed a Baby Dog - Put two or three holes in the tip of the nipple on the pet bottle with a needle heated over a flame. Don't put too many holes or the puppy will choke.
Mix powdered milk formula right before you feed the puppy. Mix the formula according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure there aren't any lumps in the formula. Read the formula's packaging for storage instructions.
Feed a Baby Dog
Heat a bowl of water in the microwave. Sit the bottle of milk in it until it is warm. Test the milk on your wrist just like a baby's milk.
Lay the puppy down with its stomach down on a flat surface. Squeeze the tip of the nipple so a little bit of the milk comes out. Gently push the nipple in the puppy's mouth. Squeeze the bottle gently so some of the milk comes out.
Feed the puppy every two to four hours during the day. Feed the puppy 2 to 4 tbsp. at each feeding. If the puppy still acts hungry, increase the amount of food. As the puppy gets older, decrease the number of feedings, but increase the amount of food at each meal.
Puppies need special care when they are young. Some puppies require human assistance for acquiring their food because the mother died or the puppy was given away too soon. People can bottle feed puppies like babies, and the puppies become more attached to the owners as a result. Once the puppy begins to eat puppy food, it has special food needs so it can grow strong and healthy. - by eHow
