Prior to the age of four weeks, puppies have no need to drink water. They receive all the hydration they need from mother's milk. ... Whatever your water choice, keep working on having the puppies drink until they are doing it on their own. They should always have fresh, clean water available, just like the big dogs.

Water is a crucial nutrient for dogs, just as it is for humans. If a puppy is 4 weeks old and has already started eating solid food, then it's important to supply water as well. Much hydration should be supplied in the food, but it's vital to keep a fresh water supply easily accessible.

The most optimal window to start introducing water and puppy food is when the puppy is around 3 to 4 weeks old.

This is the time when the pup will naturally start to slowly wean from her mother's milk and start becoming more independent.
