How to feed puppies

If the speed is too fast, it is very easy to choke the milk, and the puppies who choke the milk are easy to develop aspiration pneumonia. Clinically, the mortality rate of aspiration pneumonia in puppies is as high as more than 60%.

3. Puppies that leave the nest early should be kept warm. Dogs under one month old should be fed goat milk powder at least 5 times a day. If the puppies have to leave the nest before they are two months old, they should be fed at this time.

When the puppy sleeps, its nest should be placed in the house, covered with soft and warm cotton pads, and then covered with a small blanket.
