Your bitch has a litter of cute puppies, you must be very happy, right?

But did you know that newborn puppies are very fragile and require your careful care and correct feeding methods to grow up healthily.  

So, how do you feed a dog when you are just born? What aspects should be paid special attention to? Today, we will introduce it to you, hoping it will be helpful to you.

First of all, we need to understand that the best food for newborn puppies is their mother's milk.  

Mom's milk not only provides enough nutrition, but also delivers important antibodies to puppies, helping them fight disease and strengthen immunity.  

Therefore, if conditions permit, we should try to make the puppy suck her mother's milk in the first few weeks after birth.

So, how do you judge whether the puppy is full?  

Generally speaking, freshman puppies should gain 5% to 10% of their weight per day, and should double their weight within a week.

We can use baby scales to weigh puppies regularly and observe their weight changes.

If you find that a puppy has slow or stagnant weight growth, it may be that you are not full and we need to provide supplementary feeding in time.

So, if the mother has insufficient milk or the puppy does not have a mother, how should we feed them?  

At this time, we need to use special puppy milk powder and bottles to simulate mother's milk and provide nutrition to the puppy. The choice of puppy milk powder is very important. You must choose a brand and formula suitable for puppy. You cannot use human milk powder or milk, because these may cause diarrhea or allergies to the puppy. The choice of

bottle is also very important. You must choose a pacifier that is suitable for the size and shape of a puppy. You cannot use a human pacifier or needle tube, because these may damage the puppy's mouth or cause choking.
