Artificial feeding of puppies

As a rule, the dog copes with feeding offspring on its own. However, the circumstances are different. And sometimes it is necessary to artificially feed the puppies. How to do it right and not harm the kids?

Rules for artificial feeding of puppies

1. You can not feed babies with cow’s, goat’s milk or infant formula, because dog’s milk is different from the milk of other animals or from baby food. For artificial feeding of puppies, there are special products that are sold in pet stores.
2. Breaks between feeding puppies should not be long. For example, newborn puppies should be fed at least once an hour, and during the first week, breaks should not exceed 2 to 3 hours.
3. For artificial feeding, puppies are placed on the tummy. Babies should not be fed on weight.
4. Follow the stream of milk. The pressure should not be too strong, otherwise the puppy may choke.

Done right, bottle feeding allows puppies to grow up to be healthy, happy dogs. If you doubt that you are coping and doing everything right, you should consult a competent specialist.
