It all depends I had a litter this summer that at 10 days they were on mush and 3.5 weeks hard food!! Most I get on mush between 2-3 weeks and on dry dood by say 4-5 weeks when there teeth come in is when these are just average that I have seen!

When I switch them I feed them there mixed and then I start leaving dry food in-between feedings and then when I see that they are eating the hard that's what they get but 7 weeks they should have already been on dry food for a couple weeks but your alright just start giving them a little less mixed and supplememtn with hard in between and then ween them off pretty quick

swap them as soon as they will eat the hard stuff is my way. Pups vary in age as to when that happens, but normally at 4 weeks I can have them eating on their own.
