Raising the baby puppies

The baby puppies must not be left without their mother until the eight week of life. The ones that are taken away before from their mother this age will be sick a lot more and this happens because the babies don’t benefit of the maternal milk. The immune system will be affected because of this. The babies need to create antibodies, and those are only transferred from mothers to their babies.

After two months, the babies need to consume dog food. The baby puppies have special types of food that you can find in specialized stores. This food is soft, not dry, and easy to digest. You can help the puppies by squashing the food with a fork, as they don’t have strong teeth to chew it.
