What do dogs eat when they have babies?

Foods suitable for dogs giving birth to eat

1. Nutritious dog food. After giving birth to puppies, dog mothers are relatively weak. We can appropriately feed them with special and nutritious dog food, preferably dog food enriched with various vitamins. Calcium powder can also be added to the dog food. Nutritious food is not only beneficial to the dog mother's body, but also helps to promote milk production.

2. Cooked egg yolk. Cooked egg yolk is an essential nutritional supplement for dogs during their postpartum period. It is rich in protein and helps the dog mother recover after giving birth. However, it should not be eaten in excess. One egg yolk per day is enough. Pay attention not to overcook the egg yolk, otherwise the nutrients in it will be lost.

3. Bone soup. Bone soup contains rich nutrients such as calcium and fat. Drinking bone soup every day can promote the secretion of more milk by the dog mother. The bone soup should not be too greasy. Reasonable dietary combination can help the dog mother recover better.

Precautions for dogs after giving birth

1. No bathing

Bathing can easily cause the mother dog, whose immune system is still relatively low, to catch a cold and may also cause wound infection. Therefore, we need to be careful not to bathe the mother dog within 30 days after giving birth.

2. Regular deworming

After giving birth, the mother dog has more contact with the puppies because of breastfeeding, so 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 the dog's bedding and other living supplies should be frequently replaced and sun-dried to keep the environment clean and tidy.

3. Ensure a safe environment free from disturbances

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

4. Eat easily digestible food

Because the mother dog is relatively weak after giving birth, her appetite may be poor. Therefore, it is important to avoid feeding her hard or difficult to digest food.
