Feeding the puppies under the mother and the next
periods of growth
The development of puppies, since their appearance at the light and to
the end of the suckling period, and especially in the first two weeks,
depends largely on the nutrition of lactating females.
In the first two weeks of newborn pups only
food is mother's milk.
In the first week of life puppies suck the mother of at least 12 times
day, the second - 8 times, for the fourth week - 6 times before
weaning - 4-5. In the usual litter of 3.6 pups and
good milk productivity bitch puppies begin fertilizing with
2-week-old, with large litters of pups 10.12) or
if the bitch a little milk, feeding puppies should be
begin with weeks of age.
Sign of satiety puppies is their quiet sleep,
hungry as puppies are concerned, crawl, and cheekbones. Puppies
stunting should underlay to the rear teats as
most milk.
Podkarmlivanie puppies should start with milk. At the same time
fed fresh whole milk, slightly warmed (up to 27-30 ')
milk. The best milk is goat's or sheep, as
composition of the milk of these animals close to the composition of milk a dog.
In order to cow's milk has been closer in composition to
bitch's milk, it added a raw egg on
0,5-1l.
First, milk is fed from an ordinary bottle, the
which put the nipple, later, when the pups begin to
to see them taught to drink (lap). For this milk
pour into a shallow dish, and gently pokes puppy in it
muzzle. After one to two times the puppy learns to drink
milk itself. Since that time the milk is added a small
amount of white bread, add liquid milk porridge from
grits or oatmeal, adding to them one fresh chicken
egg per 5-6 puppies.
Normalize the amount of milk, and in the first week for one
puppy needs a bit less thick glasses, the second -
glass, the third and fourth week - 2-3 cups per day.
With the 2-week-old puppy is useful to feed
raw fresh meat, which is given in the form of minced meat or

With 3.5 weeks in the diet of pups begin to enter the meat
broth and then cooked meat soup on it, but without meat,
fed 3-4 times per day.
To prevent rickets in puppies they are given
Calcined cheese. Method of preparation
calcined cheese is next, at 1l
milk heated to boiling quickly poured 3 tablespoons
10% of calcium chloride and mixed thoroughly. After
coagulation of milk curd is separated from the serum, it
throws in a sieve and cool, give the puppies up to 1 month. age
20g not more, from 1 to 3 months - up to 50g per day. To better
palatability curd is diluted to the same serum
pasty consistency and add 1 tbsp sugar.
Remaining serum was given a bitch.
Vegetables puppies are fed into a puree. The way it is
making the following: carrot, beet, turnip, turnip,
pumpkins and other vegetables are cut into small cubes and stew on
simmered in a little water until soft.
When the vegetables are ready, add 2-3 tablespoons of cream or
sour cream, a stew for another 15 minutes and then wipe up

puree depends on the age puppies and is 50-150g in
day.
Eggs are puppies to give better as the omelet (2 eggs 1
st.moloka) 1 every 2 days.
Twice a week, the puppies can make minced fish. When

together with bones and mince obtained
beef broth diluted to mushy state and
fed in an amount of 30-50g per pup during

A month after the birth of females gradually
allows him to come to the mother 3-4 times a day, and in the intervals 4.5
just give the subcortex, consisting of whole cow milk

feeding was adjusted to 6 times a day.
Weaned pups from females producing in 6-7 weeks. Do
it within 5 days, gradually reducing their stay
a mother. By this age puppies should be accustomed to
normal dog food that they eat their own.
Translation of puppies on regular food without milk
requires great care to avoid them
digestive disorders.
Control the proper feeding of the puppies at this time
is an indicator of the average daily weight gain:
small breeds - to 15-20g, Medium - for 50g and large breeds
- 150-175g. Since weaning, pups of the diet
to normalize the amount of energy and nutrients
substances.
Pups after weaning and young dogs
requires approximately the following number
energy per day per head, kJ:
+-----------------------------------------------+
| Age, months. | Body Weight, kg |
| |---------------------------------|
| | 1 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 |

| 8-13 420 2100 4200 6300 8400 |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Per 1 kg body weight of puppies and young
dogs of all ages need:
Protein - 9g
Fat - 2,6 g
Starch and sugar - 14g
Dietary fiber - 1.5 g
Calcium - 528 mg
Phosphorus - 440 mg
Vitamin A - 200 IU
Vitamin D - 20 IU
Vitamin E - 2.2 mg and a number of other
substances (see Chapter 1 "The value and need for dogs in
nutrients).
Pups after weaning foods should be diversified to
dogs are not subsequently been adapted only
specific feed. In preparing rations for puppies and
Young dogs should adhere to the following structure
ration (in%% of the daily energy needs):
+----------------------------------------------+

With age, the need for energy in puppies and young
dogs per unit body mass decreases. The need for
protein per 1kg of body weight 2 times higher than that
adult dogs. The need for amino acids, fats,
carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins in the puppies as
higher than in adult dogs. Proper nutrition and puppies
young dogs improves body shape in the adult
state.
From feed containing complete proteins, puppies after
weaning and young dogs are fed raw meat and
by-products containing carbohydrates, fed rice, semolina
grits, oatmeal, crushed in a liquid porridge and white bread.
As a vitamin feed in the diet include vegetables and
tops garden crops or wild growing herbs, as well as
cod liver oil. To meet the young dogs mineral
substances and to prevent rickets in the eating
add bone meal, chalk, lime and phosphate
vitamin D. It is useful to give small portions
fresh raw liver, rich in vitamins and iron.

puppies and young dogs are shown in the table.
