You can start now....but in a limited quantity....so that he can stay Hydrated.... Also in summers, give watermelons to your pup(contains 90% of water).

Clean water should be provided at all times to your pup. Please keep the water bowl in one fixed place and let your pup know its kept there. He/she will go on his/her own to drink water whenever he/she is thirsty. Also, change the water everyday and clean the bowl with soap and fill with new water.

No stop doing that. He will not drink water like this ever. Give him water instead and he will eventually drink it once he gets thirsty.

Make sure his water bowl is clean, and fill it with fresh water. Place his water bowl near his food, bed, or any place he likes to hang out in the house.

Flavor his water with bone broth or chicken broth to make it more enticing.

Or else add a bit of milk that you feed your pup in the water ...And eventually you can reduce it and transform it to pure water

To keep your puppy on a healthy path it's best to begin introducing solid foods and waters at around 3 to 4 weeks of age.🌺
