You can wean it in that way, or you could do as I do. I had a new bitch to the yard about 1 month ago. She's 9 years old, never eaten RAW. I gave her the same feed I give all my dogs first day. She don't eat.
I giver her feed to the pups next morning.
Day 2 - she don't eat - I feed her feed to pups next morning
Day 3 - Bitch is hungry - she eats what I give, she's been loving it ever since.
