The birth of a puppy is an exciting time. There is something heartwarming and beautiful about watching a mother dog care for her newborn, especially in the early stages of life. Raising a newborn dog requires more time and energy than raising a puppy. Let’s take a look at what to pay attention to.
When raising a newborn dog, you should feed it breast milk or goat's milk to meet the nutrients it needs for growth. When raising dogs, you also need to ensure that the environment is warm and comfortable, and the temperature should be controlled between 30 and 32°. The kennel also needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid the growth of bacteria, and it needs to be dewormed regularly to prevent the breeding of fleas and ticks from affecting normal life.
Also pay attention to whether all the puppies are receiving breast milk, because female dogs usually give birth to 3-6 babies in one litter, and their eyes have not yet opened, so some puppies may not be able to receive milk and need help from their owners. Also pay attention to whether the female dog will crush the puppies when sleeping. For owners with no breeding experience, newborn puppies are the most difficult to handle. If possible, it is best for the owner to get the contact information of the veterinarian, so that when the dog has a special situation, he can get help as soon as possible. Let the dog grow up healthily.
