To help your dog produce more milk give alot of water and feed her puppy food.......feed her as much as she can eat as well as let her drink as much water as she can drink if she has had a large litter you may want to buy puppy formula so you can help her feed the puppies and make sure that they are all getting enough milk....
You cannot feed your dog anything to induce lactation - this is a hormone-driven process. However, if you have a lactating dam with puppies, you should provide free-choice high-quality puppy food for her to eat. She will need a lot of calories, since she is eating enough to support herself plus all of her puppies.
a veterinarian can give your dog a shot of oxytocin. It will speed up delivery of the puppies if the mother is having trouble and it brings in the milk.
dont even give puppies milk give them water there not cats Young puppies do need milk to survive but cow milk is not good for them. They need either milk re-placer made for puppies or goats milk. Cow milk is hard for them to digest and they will not do well on it. If you search the internet there are several recipes for home made milk re-placer for pups. It is challenging to bottle raise puppies but it can be done.
No please don`t give puppies milk it gives them worms.Just give puppy food and fresh water everyday.
you may, but when the dam is nursing, you can give her milk so she has more nutrients etc. for the pups
Puppies are like human babies and you should phone your vet for a formula if the puppies are still feeding from the mother or she can't feed them. If they are eating puppy food now, then no, you should give them milk because it can cause diarrhea in puppies (or kittens.) I'm sorry, but i disagree with the above answer. I raised Great Pyrenees puppies for 22 years and I always fed my puppies extra milk and it did not give them dirrhea. Wormy pups are the ones that have the dirrhea because the parasites keep the intestines distressed and anykind of food change will cause this. If it's a big litter especially, even though mom is still feeding them the extra milk helps take the load off of her. I had puppies when I was younger whose mom died the vet we contacted said we could use milk but in a recipe for puupie milk.......heres how to make it One cup milk One egg one tbsp oil mix this and feed through a dropper or you can get a bottle from a ranch store made for livestock. goats milk is always a safe choice
usually during the prengncey people feed the mom puppy food to make more milk,so just give her puppy food and not people food and she will do fine.
you should introduce sold foods slowly to puppies, with milk and water give them a little then once there ok with the difference from just milk give them more. they should be ok.
give the puppy lots of milk and then put it in bed, under a warm blanket
make sure she is worm and do NOT take her away from her puppies, and also feed her puppy food, it will make her milk better for her babies.
When the puppies start eating solid food, they suckle less and the mother's milk will dry up.
Ask your primary care doctor if you can give your puppy human breast milk... don't ask your vet because if he can make $$ he will and not give you an honest answer.
older dogs seem to tolerate milk, but for puppies cows milk is 100 percent fatal if ingested. the safest type og milk even for old dogs or puppies is goat milk.
No, in some cases, goats milk, can give puppies, a dodgy stomach. But if goats milk, is all you can give to it, speak to your local vet, for more information. NEVER give it ANYTHING, different to the recommended food or drink, unless certain, it will not do any harm to the animal.
