Puppy food
Boy is 6 weeks old, right now he is on puppy food & milk formula... What age can I start giving him pieces of bannana/apple & some peas...
I am training him with 1 tiny peice of treat a day for come... Any diet suggestions??? What about small amounts of fish oil every so often??? I dont want him to eat human food mainly just fruits & vegtables...

I don't have any experience with a puppy that young, but I think by 6 weeks most puppies can be fully weaned. I would ask your vet for sure, but I think you would be fine putting him on a large breed puppy formula or an all life states food. Tiny pieces of fruit or vegetables for treats should be fine too I would think.

He's so young, I would talk to the vet.
I would go easy on the veggies at first. While they are nice low-calorie treats for dogs, puppies can have sensitive tummies. Also, banana has very high levels of potassium. Calcium and potassium ratios have to be carefully balanced in growing puppies. Giving banana could upset the levels in his food.

...Why not just feed him regular dog food with treats on the sidelines?

He should be fully weaned by now. I would just put him on puppy food and not add too many treats or any supplements at this point. A good puppy food (large breed recommended) will have all the nutrients he needs to stay healthy. I would leave out all the extras for now, no need to give fruit and veggies, may even cause stomach upset and lots of GI issues in a puppy so young.
