How do you switch a dog from formula to water?

Question

I'm going to get a puppy and the breeder told me shes having a hard time getting her to drink water instead of formula what if i get her and she still wont drink water? what do i have to do?

Answer 1

how old is she?  I would not take a puppy younger then 8 weeks, and would maybe wait until she is on water- too many changes at one time can really send a puppy reeling- and she may stop taking in liquids at all

Answer 2

gradually,  slowly

Answer 3

This breeder should not be allowing this pup to go to it's new owner until this issue is resolved.  

This is not a sign of a good and responsible breeder at all.  

Answer 4

Put water in the formula then gradually put more water and less formula.
