Puppies

　　When weaning puppies, you should not only pay attention to whether the puppies’ nutrition is sufficient but also properly isolate the puppies from the mother dog. Generally, when the mother dog runs out of milk, she will start to refuse to nurse the puppies. At this time, if some puppies are physically weak, the owner must take special care of them patiently.
　　1. Physically Weak Puppies
　　When puppies are suckling, intentionally place the physically weaker puppies at nipples with sufficient milk. Also, regularly observe the puppies’ activities, and if you notice a puppy trying to crawl out of the whelping box or has already crawled out, immediately send it back to the whelping box.
　2. Strengthen Nutritional Supplementation
　　After puppies are 25 days old, their appetite becomes very strong. At this time, only mother's milk can no longer satisfy their stomachs. You need to additionally feed them some milk, rice water, thin porridge, and similar foods. Also, add small amounts of fish powder, cod liver oil, bone powder, and other nutrients to strengthen their nutrition.
　3. Assisted Artificial Feeding
　　After puppies are one and a half months old, gradually transition them to primarily artificial feeding, usually feeding 3 to 4 times a day, supplemented with mother’s milk, to meet their growth and development needs. Puppies can be weaned after 50 to 60 days of nursing.
