The little teacup dogs seem to be loved by everyone, but the requirements for raising them are also very high.

Feeding knowledge

Environmental requirements: When raising teacup dogs, special attention should be paid to the temperature in which they live. In winter, pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the temperature; in summer, pay attention to ventilation and keeping cool. Indoors must be cleaned and disinfected frequently, and kept dry and tidy.

Food requirements: Puppies’ lives must be regular. Feeding should be regular and quantitative, and nutrition should be balanced. Be careful to prevent hypervitaminosis (especially vitamin A or D) or calcium deficiency. Puppies should not overeat, generally 7-8 minutes is appropriate.

Health observation: Pay close attention to the puppy’s urine and defecation conditions to determine whether it is normal. Pay attention to the color, smell and presence of insects in the puppy's stool. Normal stool is strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and usually slightly yellow.

Health Care: Puppies should not rest on their abdomens for long periods of time, as they can easily cause diarrhea or colds due to colds. Puppies are afraid of the cold, so you should pay attention to keeping them warm no matter in winter or summer.

The bones of puppies are not fully developed. Walking for a long time can cause bone deformation in the limbs and their resistance is poor. Outdoor activities should be reduced when the air conditions are not good. When the outdoor weather is suitable, letting puppies bathe in the sun is beneficial to bone growth.

Special attention:

(1) Reduce the number of baths, especially for newly purchased teacup dogs. Do not bathe with water. Use dry cleaning powder to dry clean once every five days, and use a brush to brush for a while.

(2) Teacup dogs need to be groomed and sheared starting from the age of 4 months, such as poodles. If you go outside for grooming, be sure to choose a beauty shop with good conditions and high reputation. This can prevent the spread of diseases and cross-infection, because the immunity of puppies in April is still very fragile. For hard-haired dogs, you can pluck a small amount of hair every day at home to promote its growth.
