When does a newborn dog open its eyes?

It is usually 15-22 days after the dog is born. The eyes open, vision begins, deciduous teeth begin to grow, and the dog can defecate on its own.

Characteristics of a dog’s postnatal period

1-3 weeks: Drinking breast milk in the mother’s arms and beginning to learn to open eyes and crawl;
3-4 weeks: Able to listen and see; can start to eat dog food;
4-5 weeks: normal walking and running, strong desire to explore;
5-7 weeks: officially weaned; after 7 weeks, dog mother Generally, the puppy will not pay special attention to the puppy. At this time, it is more necessary for the owner to guide and correct wrong behaviors;
7-8 weeks: Start to form its own "dog personality", with personality proportions such as fear, timidity, and curiosity. It begins to be distributed into the behavior of each puppy, which explains why some puppies keep howling when they arrive at their new home, some lie still in the cage, and some jump around without fear of people at all. .

How to feed puppies

After weaning, puppies can be fed milk cake or dog food (puppy food), but it should be noted that after 3 months For puppies under 10 years old, it is best to soak the dog food in warm water until soft before eating. Feed it 4 times a day, not too much each time. It is better to make sure that the stool is not soft the next day and can be picked up.
You can feed dry dog ​​food after 3 months, and you can feed it 3 times a day. But be careful, do not suddenly switch to dry dog ​​food. The water used to soak the dog food should be gradually reduced little by little, for about a week, otherwise the dog will be prone to gastrointestinal discomfort or even other secondary diseases.
Puppies have weak digestion, and human food is both tempting and dangerous to them. Therefore, you cannot feed them things you think are good, such as meat and milk. This kind of unscientific love often ruins your life. Weak lives; in addition, owners should develop the habit of regular feeding, and do not give them snacks at ordinary times; do not give puppies the opportunity to swallow chicken bones, ribs and other bones, because they will stay in the throat or pierce or even block the intestines .

Puppy vaccination process

Dogs must complete deworming and vaccination. Puppies that drink breast milk should be dewormed for 28 days and receive the first dose of vaccine at 42 days; for dogs that do not drink breast milk, the first dose of vaccine can be earlier. The recommended immunization schedule is as follows:

About 28 days, the first internal deworming;

About 42 days, the first injection of the two-part vaccine;

After 10 days, conduct the second internal deworming;

Ten days later, inject the second vaccine (quadruple);

Twenty days later, the third dose of vaccine (quadruple or six doses) is given;

About 4 to 5 months, the rabies vaccine should be injected.

After completing the deworming and vaccination in the puppy stage, pet dogs raised indoors should be dewormed externally every 2 months, internally dewormed every 3 to 5 months, and vaccinated every year. strengthen (six(combination + rabies vaccine), encephalitis vaccine and Toxoplasma gondii vaccine are currently immature and are not recommended.
You can only take a bath and go out of the house after getting the rabies vaccine, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are infected! Remember! This is top priority! Another thing I would like to remind everyone is that Quanquan knows that you want to buy puppies and want to develop a relationship with the dog from an early age. Many people also buy dogs that are two or three months old. This is true, but please purchase a fully vaccinated dog from a regular kennel and ask the seller for the vaccine booklet.
According to general procedures, a 3-month-old dog should have been dewormed and immunized, and the cheapest price for deworming and immunization alone is more than 200 yuan and nearly 300 yuan. Therefore, please be careful when buying puppies that are low-priced, do not have vaccine books, and are produced in informal kennels, otherwise a small puppy can easily send the dog back to the dog star!
