Suddenly being separated from the bosom is a hard enough test for the puppy. It must therefore operate in the best conditions so that the psyche of the animal is not disturbed
How to wean
The weaning period coincides with the end of breastfeeding, approximately 7 weeks after birth.
It unfolds gradually. The mother begins by doing the work herself by adopting a less patient attitude at the time of feeding and by presenting the children with their own food that they try to relieve.
This behavior of the dog is also due to the fact that babies start to have their baby teeth. Breastfeeding becomes more painful.
In general, complete weaning occurs around the age of 2 to 3 months. This is the time when you can sell the puppy.
What has to be done
The farmer must monitor the behavior of the litter to know when to increase the dosage of solid food or semi-liquid pie.
In fact, the young would have to be able to cleanly lick a plate around the age of one month.
Puppies long retain the instinct and desire to suck, so find a way to separate them from their mother a good part of the day. If they only find it at mealtime, it allows them to get used to a well-regulated life.
The presence of baby teeth encourages babies to bite everywhere. They are given toys (non-toxic) and minced meat in order to get them used to this new food.
Do not give cow's milk; it causes the appearance of diarrhea often serious.
As long as the puppy is not completely weaned, have him follow a very natural diet and well balanced without feeding him.
Because, if he has a natural tendency to bulimia, he does not digest yet perfectly. The stomach troubles are dangerous at this age.
Be careful also to maintain the range in satisfactory comfort conditions.
For up to 1 month, puppies are in great need of heat. If you have to decrease gradually and go from about 30 ° the first week to 24 ° after a month or so, take care that the young do not get cold, and carefully protect them from drafts .
