🐶🍼 A pretty important first meal! 💚
Fresh into the world via caesarean and already getting down to business! 🥹
This little one is having its very first drink of colostrum, and while it might not look like much, it’s a pretty big deal!
Colostrum is the first milk produced by mum and is packed with antibodies that help protect newborn puppies while their own immune systems are still developing.
The first few hours of life are especially important, as puppies are only able to absorb these protective antibodies from their gut for a short period after birth.
There’s something truly special about helping bring new life into the world. From those very first breaths to those tiny first feeds, they’re moments that never get old. We really are so lucky to do what we do! 🥹🐾💚
