Precautions for dog pregnancy

1. About 15 days after breeding the dog, you can start feeding the dog folic acid tablets to prevent fetal malformations. Do not bathe or deworm your dog after breeding. Try to avoid strenuous exercise and going up and down stairs when taking your dog for a walk every day.
2. When the dog has a loss of appetite, you can feed it some nutritional paste, canned dog food, Miaoxian bags, etc. In short, you must find a way to get the dog to eat something.
