Samoyed Puppies

Puppies cannot hear or see when they are first born. 10-14 Open your eyes at dawn and begin to become familiar with the surrounding environment. Since then, there has been no quiet time. After 3 weeks, puppies begin to grow deciduous teeth and new nails. Puppies after 4 weeks begin to become active, and as long as they are awake, they always want to get out of the birth bed. If it is a kennel, it is time to move them from the delivery bed to the kennel. These little guys are not yet able to walk on harder ground, which can damage their tendons and joints over time. It is best to find a nice day and take them to play on the grass. The owner should find some toys for them, so as to develop and train them for future biting training.

From the time they are born, the owner should have more contact with them every day, such as touching, hugging, etc. This allows the puppy to establish a close relationship with the person and become a trustworthy partner in addition to the mother dog. 4-7 weeks is the stage when puppies gradually strengthen their familiarity with the external environment. Owners should spend more time with them, stroke and hug them more, which will have a great impact on their future personality. Taking care of puppies is not just a matter for one person. It is best for the whole family to participate and have more contact with the puppies.

1. The key points of raising one-month-old Samoyed puppies

Puppies cannot be distinguished from the outside in the first week. Put different colors on them to make them easier to identify. Puppies need to be weighed every day from the day they are born. When they are just born, they weigh about 450-550 grams. In the first 4 weeks, they lose an average of 50 grams per day. , reducing almost 100 grams per day.

Until the third week, the puppies only eat breast milk, during which the mother dog cleans them every day. The mother dog licks the puppies' bellies with her mouth after the puppies are fed, and massages them to help them digest food better. The feces of puppies will also be eaten and licked by the mother dog. Don’t worry about this being unhygienic for the mother dog. What the puppies eat is breast milk, which is completely natural. The feces that the puppies have not completely digested can be digested by the mother dog. The owner should also be more diligent and change their mats every day.

From the 4th week onwards, the owner should give them some complete nutritional feed for the cubsAnd baby milk powder, if it is a good quality product, the identity contained in it will be included, and feeding vitamins and minerals will only be harmful. They also take breast milk at this time, and they are not weaned until the 6th week.

The nutrition of cow's milk, goat's milk and the milk of other herbivorous animals is far less than that of dog milk. The protein content is only 1/4 of dog milk, and the female dog's milk does not condense in the stomach and is easy to The milk forms rennet and whey soon in the stomach. Whey is very effective in eliminating eczema in adult dogs, but it can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort and pneumonia in puppies. Therefore, it is best to use Bomen's baby milk powder.

2. The focus of raising 2-month-old Samoyed puppiesdiet

When buying a puppy, you should pay attention to chatting more with the owner of the puppy, and carefully understand the details such as the type, amount and time sequence of food that the owner feeds the puppy. Within a week after the puppy is returned home, the feeding should be kept as consistent as the previous owner, and then gradually change its eating habits. If not only the eating habits but also the environment change, and the owner is changed, and if there are a series of sudden changes such as transportation from other provinces through long distances, the dog's body is likely to have a strong stress response, causing the dog's resistance to decline. Short, gastrointestinal function disorder, causing the occurrence of various diseases.

When the puppy comes home, the family often enjoys playing around with it. Seeing its cute appearance, they can’t help but give the puppy what they think is the best thing, such as delicious food. Puppies often suffer from gastrointestinal dysfunction between 1 and 2 dawn if they eat meat or other foods. This kind of pampering is very wrong. What should be considered is that because the gastrointestinal digestion ability of puppies is weak, although the food contains less fiber, it should be soft and easy to digest. Generally within 3 to 4 months, it is appropriate to eat porridge-like food or dry food soaked in water. Some other foods often cause indigestion, diarrhea, etc.

It is particularly important to point out that puppies eating milk can easily cause diarrhea. Because there is a big difference in identity between milk and dog milk. The protein content of canine mother's milk is high, which is 3 times that of cow's milk and 7.5 times that of human milk. It is a kind of milk with high protein, high fat and low lactose, while cow's milk and milk powder used by humans are both low in protein and low in fat. and high-lactose milk substances. The enzymes in the dog's intestines that digest lactose are insufficient (genetic factors). If the milk (or food) fed to puppies contains a large amount of high sugar, it often leads to fermentation in the intestines and causes diarrhea.

Therefore, 2-month-old puppies should be fed high-protein food plus vegetables (equivalent to the food of 4 to 5-month-old babies). For example, use chicken breast or beef with less fat, add some vegetables, cut into thin strips, add some bread crumbs or rice and mix evenly. 3 to 4 times a day. If you add some calcium powder (or bone meal, active calcium, etc.) to the food and add 1 to 2 drops of vitamin A and D liquid, it can better meet the needs of the puppy's bone growth and development.

3. The dietary focus of raising 3-month-old Samoyed puppies

The 3-month-old puppies should start to slowly consider the order of feeding. Feeding times should generally be arranged during the day to comply with the general movement sequence of animals. For example, if you have three meals a day, breakfast should be at 8 o'clock, lunch at 1 o'clock, and dinner at 6 o'clock.

The factors and quantity of food are basically the same as those at 2 months of age. Because dogs are growing up significantly every day, the amount should be reduced appropriately. Generally, every 3 to 5 days, the amount needs to be reduced by 1/5 of the original conditions. Note that if you prepare the food yourself, you can add a little salt.

The body size and bone thickness of a puppy when they grow up are determined by genetics and have little to do with the amount of food they eat and their nutritional status. During the growth and development stage, all parts of the puppy's body do not grow in a balanced manner. From birth to 3 months old, the main body length increases and the weight increases. At 4 to 5 months, the main body length decreases. After 7 months, the main body height decreases.

Therefore, during the growth and development period, we must pay attention to nutritional balance and maintain sufficient nutrients. However, if a puppy eats too much, it is easy to hurt the stomach and affect gastrointestinal function. If a puppy eats too little, it will not be able to maintain the nutrients needed for body growth and development. The body will be weak, have poor resistance, and will easily get sick. Dogs in the growth and development period are generally fed food with balanced nutritional ingredients. There are many specialized puppy dog ​​foods in the market.

4. The dietary focus of raising 4-month-old Samoyed puppies

The period of 4 to 8 months is a very critical growth period for puppies. The various nutritional needs of dogs should be met. When 4 months old, you can feed some dry dog ​​food and rice suitable for dogs. Cooked meat, fish, vegetables and broth can all be added to special foods, or mixed with rice, pasta, etc. Add a little calcium powder and vitamin A and D liquid to the food. You can add a little salt and sugar, but remember not to overdo it.

The amount of food varies with the breed of dog and the size of the body. If there are several dogs, it is impossible to give the same amount, so pay attention to different treatments. Generally, feed an amount of food the size of a puppy's head at each meal, and feed it twice a day, morning and evening. How much each dog can eat must be well controlled by the owner.
