What should puppies eat? Puppies should mainly be fed breast milk for the first 30 days after birth. After 3 weeks, in addition to breast milk, add a little weaning food or crush the soaked puppy dog ​​food, add some dog milk powder, mix it into a paste and feed it to the puppy. Gradually switch to puppy dog ​​food after 2 months of age.

The weaning period is 30-50 days after birth, and the lactation period (50 days after birth). The puppies mainly live on breast milk for the first 30 days after birth. Dog milk contains more protein and fat than human milk.

Puppies begin to grow teeth after 3 weeks of birth. At this time, in addition to feeding them dog milk, they should also add some weaning food. The weaning period is the most critical period in a puppy’s growth, and malnutrition must be prevented. There are specially sold weaning dog food on the market. You can also add some boiled water or canine milk to puppy dog ​​food to make softer dog food, which is both convenient to eat and rich in nutrients. Puppy dog ​​food contains higher calories and more nutrients than adult dog food, and is in the form of small particles, making it easier to eat. The number of feedings varies depending on the individual differences of the weaned puppies. Feeding 4 to 6 times a day is most appropriate. The grains of weaning food should be small so that they are easy to digest.

Feed your dog milk powder with confidence: If you feed it too much milk at one time, it may cause indigestion and diarrhea. Puppies with poor digestion should be fed in small amounts in moderation. Dog milk powder with the same ingredients as dog milk can be fed to puppies in large quantities.

In addition, when buying a puppy from a pet store, it is best to ask a professional about the feeding frequency and food types suitable for the puppy. By gradually increasing the amount of weaning food, puppies can be completely weaned about 50 days after birth.

How to make weaning dog food: 1. Add enough warm water to the puppy dog ​​food to soak the dry dog ​​food until soft. 2. Crush the dog food with a small spoon, and then add some powdered milk powder for dogs to supplement a large amount of calcium. 3. Gently stir it into a paste, and the delicious weaning dog food is ready.

Growth period: (starting from the third month after birth) The food after weaning determines the future eating habits. After 2 months of birth, the puppy’s deciduous teeth are basically all in place, and the puppy should be gradually replaced with dog food. Initially, add a small amount of puppy dog ​​food to the weaning food and feed it 3 to 4 times a day. Then gradually increase the proportion of puppy dog ​​food until finally all is replaced by puppy dog ​​food. The frequency of feeding should also be gradually reduced, and after 6 months of age, it should be reduced to 2-3 times a day.

In addition, during this period, the puppy has the ability to digest starch and can be fed an appropriate amount of grain food. 2 to 5 months after birth is the time to develop eating habits. If you feed too much human food, it will lose interest in dog food. If you plan to feed your dog mainly dog ​​food, it is best not to feed it human food.

What should we pay attention to for puppies that are one to two months old? 1. It is recommended that you feed your dog with puppy dog ​​food. If the dog is too young, you can feed the puppy with dog milk powder and add a little lactase to the milk powder. To prevent him from getting used to the food and causing diarrhea, slowly add dog food to the milk.Do not use milk. Generally, puppies will have diarrhea if they drink milk. In severe cases, it can cause dehydration. Do not feed other foods including any snacks (there are many foods that can cause poisoning or allergies in puppies).
