It's important to clarify that if a mother dog is suffocating her puppies, it may be due to her not understanding how to care for them, or it could indicate stress or discomfort. Typically, mother dogs are instinctively protective and nurturing, and they should stop any harmful behavior as they adjust to motherhood. If the behavior persists, it's crucial to seek veterinary advice or consult an animal behaviorist to ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and her puppies.

How do you stop lactating in dogs?
Canine lactation is very similar to human lactation in that it is usually brought on by pregnancy and birth, but sometimes it can be a hormonal imbalance. If the dog's puppies are nursing, to stop the female dog from lactating, remove the puppies. However, you need to make sure the puppies will be fed and taken care of properly before removing them, because sometimes only the mother can care for the pups. The lactation should stop with a few days to a few weeks afterward. If the female is still lactating or if you wish her to stop sooner, you may take her to a vet and see if you can get a prescription of hormones for her to counterbalance her natural hormones and make her stop; follow the directions carefully with the hormones. If not administered properly, you can screw up your dog's hormone balance and have negative and even adverse effects.
