What to feed dogs after giving birth

Foods suitable for dogs after giving birth

1. You need to feed your dog with lactation-specific food or puppy food. These two types of food have higher nutritional value and can meet the needs of the dog's body after giving birth.

2. Feed the dog some boiled chicken breast, eggs, or lactation-specific nutrient paste. These foods also contain a large amount of high-quality protein.

3. If the dog has insufficient milk, you can also feed it with some goat milk powder, crucian carp soup, etc. to help it produce more milk.

4. You can feed the dog with some post-operative recovery prescription canned food. This canned food contains a large amount of protein and energy, which can quickly help the dog recover physical fitness, while the fat content is relatively low.

Precautions for dogs after giving birth

1. No bathing

It is easy for the mother dog, whose immune system is still relatively weak, to catch a cold and cause wound infection. Therefore, we need to pay attention to not bathing the mother dog within 30 days after giving birth.

2. Regular deworming

After giving birth, because the mother dog needs to have more contact with the puppies, if deworming is not done regularly, it is easy to cause mutual infection. Therefore, we need to pay special attention to regularly deworming the mother dog, and also frequently change and expose the dog's bedding and other daily necessities to maintain a clean and tidy environment.

3. Ensure a safe environment without disturbance

The mother dog is relatively sensitive during the period after giving birth. If disturbed by strangers, it may become angry and bite. Therefore, on the one hand, we should create a relatively quiet rest environment for it to avoid disturbance, and on the other hand, we should also soothe its emotions.

4. Eat easily digestible food

Since the mother dog is still relatively weak after giving birth, her appetite may be poor. Therefore, we need to avoid feeding her hard or difficult-to-digest food.
