What do dogs eat after giving birth

Foods suitable for postpartum dogs

1. You need to feed the dog with special lactation 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. Eat some boiled chicken breast and eggs, or special nutrient cream for lactation, which also contains a lot of high-quality protein.

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

4. You can give the dog some postoperative recovery prescription canned food, which contains a lot of protein and energy, can quickly help the dog recover physical strength, and has a relatively low fat content.

Precautions for dogs after giving birth

1. No bathing

Bathing can easily cause colds in the mother dog whose immune system is still relatively low and may also cause wound infection. Therefore, we need to pay attention not to bathe the mother dog within 30 days after delivery.

2. Regular deworming

After giving birth, the mother dog needs to have more contact with the puppies during breastfeeding. Therefore, if deworming is not done regularly, it is easy to cause mutual infection. So we need to pay special attention to regular deworming for the mother dog, and regularly change and wash the dog's bedding and other daily necessities to keep the environment clean and tidy.

3. Ensure a safe environment without disturbance

The mother dog is more sensitive during this period after giving birth. If strangers come to disturb her, she will get angry and may bite people. Therefore, on the one hand, we need to create a relatively quiet rest environment for her to avoid disturbance, and on the other hand, we should also calm her emotions.

4. Eat easily digestible food

Because the mother dog is still weak after giving birth and her appetite may be poor, we need to pay attention not to feed her with something too hard or difficult to digest.
