A puppy who is just full moon is in the early stages of life and needs special care to be fed and cared for. Proper feeding is essential for the health and growth of the puppy. Here are some tips on how to feed a puppy who is just over a month old.

1. Breast milk or dog milk powder

If possible, letting the puppy continue to drink breast milk is the best choice because breast milk is rich in nutrients and antibodies, which is very important for the health and growth of the puppy. Breast milk can help puppies build their immune system and protect them from diseases. If you cannot obtain breast milk, you can choose specially formulated dog milk powder as a replacement. These milk powders usually contain the nutrients that puppies need, but make sure to choose a high-quality product and formulate and feed correctly as directed. Pay attention to the reaction of the puppies during feeding to ensure they can adapt to new foods.

2. Feeding frequency

Puppies who have just been full moon need to be fed frequently because they have a small appetite and cannot eat many foods at once. Usually, you need to feed about 4-6 times a day, each feeding is about 10%-15% of the puppy's body weight. This ensures that puppies get enough nutrition and energy to support their healthy growth. When feeding, pay attention to the puppy's fullness and avoid excessive feeding leading to digestive problems. At the same time, make sure that the puppy is given sufficient water to maintain balance in body moisture and body temperature.

3. Feeding method

You can use a bottle or a medical syringe for puppies that are just over a month old. When using a bottle, choose a bottle that is suitable for the size of a puppy's mouth and make sure the puppy has a small hole to allow the puppy to suck the milk appropriately. When using a medical syringe, select a syringe that is suitable for the size of a puppy's mouth and inject milk into the puppy's mouth to let it swallow itself. No matter which method is used, make sure that the puppy is in a comfortable position when feeding, and can gently hold the puppy to make it feel safe and comfortable. After feeding, clean the bottle or syringe with warm water to ensure hygiene.

4. The feeding temperature

dog milk powder or breast milk should be warm and not too hot or too cold, preferably between 37-39 degrees Celsius. Overheated milk may burn the puppy's mouth and digestive tract, while too cold milk may cause indigestion. Use warm water or a special bottle heater to heat the milk water to ensure the temperature is appropriate. The temperature of the milk can be tested by the skin on the inside of the wrist, and it should feel comfortable and warm but not hot. Before feeding, it is best to test the temperature by dropping the milk on the back of your hand to ensure it is suitable for puppies to eat.

5. Pay attention to the weight gain and mental state of puppies is very important and can help you determine whether they are growing up healthily. Weigh the puppies every day and record their weight changes to ensure their weight gain is normal. At the same time, observe the mental state and behavior of the puppy, including appetite, activity level and interaction with other puppies or people. If you find that the puppy has a slow weight gain, a loss of appetite, a low mental state or other abnormalities, you should seek medical treatment in time. Veterinarians can conduct comprehensive examinations and provide corresponding treatments and suggestions based on the situation to ensure that the puppy grows healthy.

6. The transition period

The gradual introduction of solid food is an important step to help puppies gradually transition to dog food. Usually, solid food can be gradually introduced when the puppy is 2-3 months old. At the beginning, you can soak the dog food softly or crush it with a blender to make it easier to digest. Gradually reduce the degree of soaking or crushing, so that the puppies gradually get used to eating raw dog food. Never change food suddenly, as this may cause indigestion or stomach discomfort on the puppy. Gradually transitioning can help puppies adapt to new foods and reduce the occurrence of digestive problems. If there is any digestive problem or discomfort during the transition period, the food type or medical treatment should be adjusted in time.

7, Water

It is very important to ensure that the puppy always has fresh and clean water for drinking. Water is a necessity for maintaining puppies’ health and can help digest food, maintain body temperature and excrete waste from the body. Especially in hot weather or after exercise, puppies need more water to maintain balance in their body water. Therefore, make sure the water basin is kept clean at all times and change the water source regularly to ensure that the puppy drinks fresh and clean water. If the puppy drinks abnormal water volume or other abnormal situations, seek medical treatment in time.

Through proper feeding and careful care, the puppy can grow up healthily and establish an intimate relationship with the owner. At the same time, owners are reminded to pay attention to the quality and suitability of food when feeding puppies. Maintaining regular veterinary examinations is also an important measure to ensure the health of puppies. Through these methods, the puppy who has just been in full moon can grow up happily and become a member of the family.
