I have a 6 week old puppy and he is already eating on his own. I was wondering if he can have regular milk for 2 more weeks until he is 8 weeks and if he can what do I do?

Cow's milk can cause diarrhea. I would ask the vet what he or she recommends.
Your puppy needs his mothers milk until he is 8 weeks old at least. Even though he is eating regular food too. Most importantly he needs to be with his mother and siblings until he is 8 weeks old to learn how to behave etc.
Do not give a dog anything other than mother's milk or a vet appoved mother's milk replacement product. Get the pup in to be established with the vet ASAP!
Prayers for a health pup and l lovely history together for you both!
You can also make a great homemade puppy milk replacement that is better than any brand on the market and you can know what is actually in it. Use the best ingredients. We have done this with numerous puppies. Once we had to bottle feed ten puppies and no way was I going to give them food from a can that was like an old coke can made from an industry that is not at all regulated by the fda in any way. I use evaporated milk, egg yolks, plain whole fat yogurt, kayro syrup, a bit of distilled water and vitasol infant vitamin drops. This makes great puppy milk replacement! You can add mayo as well. This way you can make sure your puppy is getting all organic food too! (If you want to)
