How to raise a newly weaned puppy

There are several aspects to consider when raising a newly weaned puppy, including diet, environmental hygiene, warmth, and training.

Diet:

Due to the sensitive and fragile digestion of young puppies, special attention should be paid to their diet. At the beginning, you can start by feeding the puppy with pet-specific goat milk powder, and then gradually switch to milk cake food after the puppy's intestinal tract adapts. Also, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of eating small meals frequently, and soak the food in warm water or goat milk powder before feeding it to avoid indigestion. After the puppy reaches three months old, you can gradually transition it to eating hard food.

Environmental hygiene:

Since the immune system of a newly weaned puppy is still weak, it is essential to pay attention to environmental hygiene. The puppy's food and water containers should be disinfected once a week, and you can also disinfect them with boiling water. Additionally, the puppy's kennel should be cleaned regularly and exposed to sunlight to kill bacteria.

Warmth:

As the puppy's body has not yet fully developed, its resistance and immunity are very low. If you don't pay attention to keeping it warm, it may easily catch a cold. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the puppy's warmth, especially during cold weather. You can prepare small heaters, warm lamps, and hot water bottles to keep the puppy warm.

Training:

Dog education should start from a young age. After weaning, you can begin training the puppy to pee and poop in specific areas. Generally, puppies will need to go to the bathroom after eating, playing, or waking up. Encourage the puppy to develop a habit of going to the bathroom at scheduled times. Praise it happily and reward it with gestures and expressions when it goes to the bathroom in the designated area. If it makes a mistake, gently correct it.
