PUPPIES AND MUM 🐶
Feeding Mum:
Pregnant and nursing bi***es should be fed a high quality puppy food, not adult dog food.
Puppy food provides:
✔ Extra energy needed for pregnancy and milk production
✔ Higher protein for healthy puppy growth
✔ Essential nutrients such as calcium for strong bones and development
During late pregnancy and throughout lactation, mum’s nutritional needs increase significantly. She may need smaller meals more often and fresh water should always be available.
🐾 Caring for Newborn Puppies:
✔ Provide a warm, quiet, and clean area for mum and pups
✔ Monitor puppies closely to ensure they are feeding and gaining weight
✔ Avoid unnecessary handling in the first few days
✔ Keep bedding dry and hygienic
✔ Watch for any signs of illness in mum or puppies
If you have any concerns about mum or her puppies, early advice can make all the difference.
