Key points of raising Samoyed puppies

Samoyed 10-14 days old

Puppies cannot hear or see when they are born. They only open their eyes after 10-14 days and begin to become familiar with their surroundings. environment. From then on, there was no peace. After 3 weeks, puppies begin to grow deciduous teeth and new nails. Puppies after 4 weeks begin to become active and want to leave the birthing bed as long as they are awake. If it is a kennel, it is time to move them from the farrowing bed to the kennel.
These little guys are not yet able to walk on harder surfaces, which can damage their tendons and joints over time. It is best to find a good day and take them to play on the grass. The owner should find some toys for them, which will be an enlightenment education for their future biting training.
Puppies look the same in appearance during the first week, and they should be given different colored straps to distinguish them. Puppies should be weighed every day from the first day they are born. They weigh about 450-550 grams when they are born. In the first 4 weeks, they gain an average of 50 grams per day. At 4-8 weeks, they gain weight every day. Almost 100 grams more.

Samoyed Week 3

Until the third week, the puppies only eat breast milk. During this period, the mother dog cleans them every day. The mother dog licks the puppies' bellies with her mouth after the puppies are fed, and massages them to make them digest better. The puppies' feces will also be eaten and licked dry by the mother dog. Don't worry that this is unhygienic for the mother dog. What the puppies eat is breast milk, which is all natural. The mother dog can digest the feces that the puppies have not completely digested. The owner should also be more diligent and change their mats every day.

The fourth week of Samoyed

From the 4th week onwards, the owner should give them some complete nutritional feed for the puppies and milk powder for the puppies. If it is a good quality product, it contains all the ingredients. Included, feeding more vitamins and minerals will only be harmful. They also take breast milk at this time, and they are not weaned until the 6th week.
Cow's milk, goat's milk, and other herbivorous animals' milk are far less nutritious than dog's milk. The protein content is only 1/4 of dog's milk. Moreover, female dog's milk does not coagulate in the stomach, while pure milk does not coagulate in the stomach. Soon it turns into rennet and whey. Whey is very effective in eliminating eczema in adult dogs, but it can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort in puppies and puppies, and there is a risk of pneumonia. So it is best to use specialized puppy milk powder.

Key points for raising a 2-month-old Samoyed

When buying a puppy, you should pay attention to chat with the original owner of the puppy and understand the original owner carefully. Details such as the type, portion, and timing of food to be fed to the puppy. Within a week after the puppy is brought home, the feeding should be as consistent as possible with the previous owner, and then slowly change its eating habits. If you change your eating habits, change the environment, change the owner, and undergo a series of drastic changes such as long-distance transportation from other places, the dog's body is likely to produce a strong stress response, which will reduce the dog's resistance. Gastrointestinal dysfunction, causing various diseasesborn.

When a puppy comes home, the family often likes to play around with it. Seeing its cute appearance, they can’t help but give the puppy what they think is the best, such as delicious meat and so on. , but puppies often develop gastrointestinal dysfunction after 1 to 2 days. This kind of doting is very wrong. What should be considered is: because the gastrointestinal digestion ability of puppies is weak, the food should contain as little fiber as possible and should be soft and easy to digest. Generally within 3 to 4 months, it is appropriate to eat porridge-like food or dry food soaked in water. Some other foods often cause indigestion, diarrhea, etc.

Samoyeds are not suitable for drinking milk

It should be pointed out that puppies eating milk can easily cause diarrhea. Because the ingredients in cow's milk and dog's milk are very different. The protein content of canine mother's milk is high, which is 3 times that of cow's milk and 7.5 times that of human milk. It is a kind of milk with high protein, high fat and low lactose, while cow's milk and milk powder used by humans are low in protein, low fat and low lactose. A substance in milk that is high in lactose. Insufficient lactose-digesting enzymes in the dog's intestines (genetic factors). If the milk (or food) fed to puppies contains a large amount of high sugar, it often causes fermentation in the intestines and causes diarrhea.

Three-month-old Samoyed feeding points

Three-month-old puppies should start to consider regular feeding. Feeding times should generally be arranged during the day to suit the general activity patterns of animals. For example, three meals a day, breakfast around 8:00, lunch around 1:00, and dinner around 6:00.
The composition and quantity of food are basically the same as those for 2 months old. Since dogs are growing up significantly every day, the portion size should be increased appropriately. Generally, every 3 to 5 days, the amount needs to be increased by 1/5 on the original basis. Note that if you prepare the food yourself, you can add a little salt.
The body size and bone thickness of a puppy when they grow up are determined by genetics and have little to do with how much they eat and their nutritional status. During the growth and development stage, all parts of the puppy's body do not grow in a balanced manner. From birth to 3 months old, the body mainly grows in length and weight, in 4 to 5 months it mainly grows in length, and after 7 months it mainly grows in height.
Therefore, during the growth and development period, attention must be paid to nutritional balance and sufficient nutrients must be ensured. However, if a puppy eats too much, it will easily damage the stomach and affect gastrointestinal function. If a puppy eats too little, it will not be able to ensure the nutrients needed for the body's growth and development. The body will become thin, have poor resistance, and will easily get sick. Dogs in the growth and development period are generally fed food with balanced nutrition. There are many dog ​​foods specifically for puppies on the market.

Key points for feeding Samoyeds in four months

The period from 4 to 8 months is a very important growth period for puppies, and the various nutritional needs of the dogs should be met. When 4 months old, you can properly feed some dry dog ​​food and rice specially designed for dogs. Cooked meat, fish, vegetables and broth can be added to special foods to mix, or mixed with rice, pasta, etc. Add a little calcium powder and vitamin A, D liquid to the food, it can be slightlyAdd a little salt and sugar, but not too much.
The amount of food varies depending on the breed of dog and the size of the body. If there are several dogs, it is impossible to give the same amount, so pay attention to different treatments. Generally, the amount of food fed at each meal is the size of a puppy's head, and it is enough to feed it twice a day, morning and evening. The owner must know and control how much each dog can eat.
