When should pug puppies be weaned?

The weaning period for pug puppies is usually about two months after birth, but in fact few female dogs nurse for two months. At about 30-40 days, the mother dog's milk will begin to decrease and the puppies cannot be fed. At this time, they are no longer suitable for breastfeeding.
Therefore, weaning should begin about 45 days after the pug puppies are born. However, owners should not be too arbitrary, because the physique and growth and development of each pug puppy are different, and the weaning time will be slightly different. Owners should decide when to wean based on the actual growth of their pug puppies. And there are methods for weaning, and it can’t be done right away.
Some owners may be busy and do not have the time or patience to slowly wean their pug puppies. Therefore, after the lactation period, they forcibly separate the puppies from their mother dogs to wean the puppies. In fact, this method is completely wrong. Although it saves time, due to the lack of transition period, pug puppies will not adapt to such sudden changes, which can easily cause indigestion, mental anxiety and even illness in the puppies.
Therefore, it is recommended that the owner adopts a gradual weaning method. A few days before weaning, separate the puppies and the mother dog for a few hours, then put the puppies back to nurse, and then separate them after feeding. In this way, the separation time is gradually increased, the frequency of feeding is reduced, and a small amount of pet goat milk powder, puppy milk cake, etc. is fed in the middle. Repeat this for several days until the puppies are completely weaned. This method is less harmful to the puppies and the mother dog.
