Questions and answers for first-time dog raising!
Q: Question A: Answer
1.Q: My friend had a litter of puppies and weaned them Shall I take it?
A: If you buy a dog from a kennel or a regular pet store, it is best after it is immunized. Say best, and until then, dogs will be well trained. If it is requested or bought by someone else, it is best to ask the original owner to be immunized before taking it home. If the dog is too small when it comes, it is easy to take care of it poorly, especially if the first-time dog owner is inexperienced, the dog may be in a hurry after being sick.
2.Q: The dog just came in and barked all night, what should I do?
A: The puppy that just left its parents and siblings feels scared and lonely, and Howling is in the nature of dogs. At this time, you should prepare enough food and water, prepare a warm and comfortable nest or cushion for it, use your soft old clothes to pad it, and also put some hot water bottle or alarm clock and other regularly sounding things. Put it where it can see you at all times (such as the bedside, the base of the bedroom wall), which can reduce its fear. If it still screams, turn on the light to comfort you without the first call, and comfort it twice, and it will naturally be quiet after a few days.
3.Q: In order to prevent it from being scared and screaming, I slept with it on the bed.
A: This practice is not recommended. Newly arrived puppies, especially those bought by dog dealers (dogs that shouldn't have been bought from dealers in the first place), may be unclean and have parasites. This is not very hygienic. And the puppy won't hold the pee and may NNBB in your bed. Besides, if you develop such a habit, it will have to sleep on the bed in the future. Is that good? Especially in the two-person world~^_^~
4.Q: Why does the newly arrived puppy sleep? Non-stop convulsions? Is it cold?
A: Dogs can also dream, and people can still move when they sleep. In the case of moderate temperature, it is normal for dogs to twitch, grind their teeth, sleep talk, and snoring when they sleep, so don't worry.
5.Q: What should the dog eat when he just came in? Eggs, milk, chicken livers, he likes to eat them all, can I just let him eat this?
A: Small dogs should eat small meals frequently, 4 to 3 times a day under 3 months old. The most scientific thing is to eat puppy-specific milk powder (or replace it with baby skim milk powder), soak the puppy in dog food and let it cool down. Don't feed it with self-made meals, which may cause diarrhea and so on. Eggs can only be fed the yolk, not the white. Don't feed milk, don't feed pork! In addition: onions, garlic, and other spicy foods, chicken bones, etc., don't give dogs to eat for the rest of your life. As for liver, because it is very fragrant, dogs may like it very much, but too much liver is very harmful to it, so be sure to take it in moderation. In fact, if you often feed the Miaoxian Bao, there are enough liver components in it, and you don't need to feed the liver separately. In short, eating dog food + puppy milk powder is the most scientific, nutritious and healthy for puppies. 6.Q: How much should I feed the dog food to be more scientific?
A: Time: 7:00am—9:00am 2:00pm— —3:00 9:00 pm—10:00 pm

Notes for kennels: milk (dairy products), onions, chicken and fish bones, chocolate, others such as spices, raw pork, alcohol, salty Spicy food can't be fed

While feeding, while gently stroking and comforting. If you don’t eat dog food because you are picky eaters, then give it a regular meal every day. After 15 minutes, take it away regardless of whether you eat it or not. Don’t give it anything during this period. Put it in for the second time, and continue to take it away for 15 minutes.

14.Q: The number of dog BBs seems to be a little less? BBs are also relatively dry. What color should the BB be?

It needs someone to massage the abdomen, or wipe its anus with a warm towel to induce it to BB, Usually just after eating, it will want BB. Too few introductions can cause the BB to build up in the gut and dry out. If it is an older dog, consider whether it is drinking too little water. In terms of color, it is generally dark brown, uniform in thickness, moderate in hardness, and no odor is normal. But sometimes the puppy can't digest the excess. Maybe after eating the egg yolk, the yellow BB will be pulled. After eating the Miao Xian Bao, the BB will taste like the Miao Xian Bao. If the calcium supplement is too much, the BB will be yellow and white. These are also possible. Generally, dogs who eat dog food will have a very normal BB, so it is recommended to give dogs dog food.

The molar bone is just bone in shape and is actually cowhide. Above the size, it should not be too small, otherwise it will be swallowed in one bite and may get stuck.
