1. Eat a balanced and nutritious diet at regular intervals. Puppies have weak digestive abilities, so only provide them with specialized and high-quality dog food. Develop the habit of regular feeding and don’t give it random snacks. Avoid letting puppies develop bad habits of being picky eaters, which may lead to malnutrition. Don’t be overly full every time you feed. Generally, 7-8 minutes of fullness is enough.
2. Understand the health status of puppies through their feces. Pay attention to the color, smell and presence of insects in the pup’s feces. Normal feces are strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and slightly yellow. But it may also be affected by food. For example, when eating meat or animal liver, the feces will usually be black. The urine is light yellow and clear and transparent. When you pee for the first time in the morning, the color will be darker. If you find that the urine color is always darker, you should suspect whether you are sick.
3. Keep warm and avoid catching cold. Don’t think that you only need to keep warm in winter, you need it in summer as well. Be careful not to let the puppy's belly touch the ground for a long time, as this will easily catch cold and cause diarrhea or a cold.
4. Don’t go out for a walk with it. Puppies should not go out for walks before they are five months old. Since the puppies' bones are not fully developed, walking for a long time will cause bone deformation in the limbs and they are also susceptible to diseases. But you can play with it indoors.
5. Immunization work is very important. After the puppies are born for 2 months, the antibodies brought from the mother have almost disappeared, and they are most susceptible to various viral diseases at this time. Therefore, it is most important to be vaccinated against canine distemper, canine parvovirus and infectious hepatitis so that you are prepared.

If you want it to defecate outdoors, you must provide it with sufficient opportunities to go out. However, puppies sometimes urinate due to excessive joy or fear. This is because the regulatory nerves are not yet mature.It is difficult to control, and the owner should be understanding and tolerant.
