for healthy puppies for dog breeders
Taking care of puppies, keeping them healthy, and looking their best is not something everyone can do, and it is quite a job for every dog owner.
Newborn puppies are very
weak and fragile. Therefore, we need to have the best puppy care techniques.
To ensure that puppies
develop in the most normal and healthy way, they must be cared for.
Let our curious pet
accessories give you some rules to properly care for your little ones to keep
them healthy.
How to Care for a Puppy
at Every Stage
Just like humans, we have
different ways of caring for dogs at each age group, and the same is true for
dogs. Players need to pay attention to each other at different stages in
different ways.
We need to arm ourselves
with enough knowledge to take care of them at every stage and avoid diseases
related to their health.
Always remember that
caring for a puppy is as tender and tender as a newborn baby.
Stay enthusiastic, follow
them regularly, and watch for changes to help us control the dangers to our
dogs.
The living environment of newborn puppies
Newborn puppies
experience a dramatic change in body temperature as they emerge from their
mothers.
After coming out of the
mother's womb, the living conditions of the puppies are very different from
those in the womb, from the outside temperature and humidity to the nutritional
conditions.
They no longer keep warm
in their mother's body but also get nutrients from their mother's body. Now
they have to deal with everything in the external environment.
Newborn puppies have a
very low body temperature, between 34.5-36 degrees Celsius for the first week,
so we need to keep them warm to maintain their body temperature.
Because a high percentage
of newborn puppies die in the first week, we need to take care of them
carefully so that they don't die prematurely and catch a cold.
During this generation
phase, we must ensure that the nest temperature is always warm. Use a heat lamp
(40W bulb) for the pup during the first week, or we can use a straw, old
clothes, and a bed in the litter to keep warm.
Keep an eye on them, if
it's cold they'll huddle together for warmth, if the temperature in the nest is
right they'll spread out to find themselves a comfortable spot, if the
temperature in the nest is too hot they'll spread out. It's going to be tough
right away. So we need to take care to adjust the heat in the drive
accordingly.
Puppy development stages
Newborn puppy
Newborn puppies are very
thin and need warmth and feeding.
In the first few days, I
only worshiped around my mother's milk, ate, and slept. At this time, it has
not been fully produced, only the movements of stretching, shaking the head,
and pedaling.
At this stage, the
puppies cannot clean themselves, and the bitch always cleans the puppies, which
is a good way to take care of the bitch to avoid the puppies from getting dirty
and infected. And many times when the puppies go to the toilet unconsciously,
the mother dog will lick the puppies' genitals to encourage the puppies to
defecate.
Puppies will open their
eyes when they are 9-13 days old, and they can hear sounds after 13-17 days.
Depending on the physical condition of the puppy, it may also be delayed for
more than a few days.
This is also the time
when puppies have deciduous teeth, they also start to walk and eat liquid food
such as milk and porridge. They can urinate without the assistance of the
bitch.
When they are 6 weeks
old, they use their faces and ears to express emotions, now we need to separate
them and let them eat by themselves, their food now is not milk or porridge but
rice. soft.
At this age, we first
need to consider the health of puppies and puppies with nasal vaccinations.
From the age of 7-19
weeks, their teeth have basically grown. We should find room 2 for the puppies
when they are 10 weeks old.
When they are between 12
weeks and 16 months, they often chew through furniture due to itchy gums, and
we can prepare some plush toys, especially for puppies.
We need to teach them not
to bite their hands.
By the age of 6-18
months, we can make them housekeepers, because at this time they have learned
to be independent and know how to leave their mark on their own territory and
not allow others to encroach.
By the time they are 18
months old, they are fully grown and we can train them to use the toilet in the
correct place, do housekeeping, and do other activities.
Above we have been
curious about the stages and how to take care of them at each stage.
