The essential time of breastfeeding is 4 weeks, however, it is ideal for breastfeeding to be maintained for 8 weeks, since it is not only feeding the puppy, but also letting her mother begin the learning process, through soft bites, licks and grunts.

Sometimes maintaining breastfeeding for 4 or 8 weeks is not possible due to various problems that can affect the mother, so we show you how to feed puppies prematurely weaned.

1. Do not welcome puppies under 2 months.

We must resort to a good nutrition plan for prematurely weaned puppies when completing lactation has not been possible due to some medical problem, such as mastitis in bitches.

Therefore, this information should not be used to separate a puppy from its mother prematurely, as this has very negative consequences for the dog, in addition to being deprived of the sense of belonging to a group, may present the following problems during its first stage of growth:

    Separation anxiety.
    Aggressiveness.
    Hyperactivity
    Suction other objects, such as cotton or fabrics.

We know that the arrival of a puppy at home is a highly positive experience, but to be responsible owners we must ensure that this is also a positive experience for the puppy, therefore, whenever we can avoid it, we should not accommodate a smaller puppy of 2 months.

2. What type of food to use?

For a minimum of 4 weeks it will be essential to feed the puppy with an artificial milk whose composition is as similar as possible to the milk of his mother, for this you must go to a specialized store.

Under no circumstances can you give him cow's milk, because it is very rich in lactose and the stomach of the dog can not digest it. If it is not possible to find an artificial milk for prematurely weaned puppies, we will then choose pasteurized goat's milk, whose lactose content is the one that most resembles the mother's milk.

The milk should be at a warm temperature and to offer it we will use a bottle purchased in pharmacy and specific for premature babies, since the flow of output offered by these bottles is the most suitable for a puppy of such a short time of life.

Once the first 4 weeks have passed, specific solid food for puppies, such as p芒t茅s or grain feed, will begin to be introduced. Initially alternate with milk intake until very progressive, after 8 weeks, the puppy's diet is solid in its entirety.

How often does a puppy who is weaned prematurely need to be fed?

The first three days should be fed continuously, that is, every 2 hours, both during the day and night, once the first three days have elapsed, we will feed it every 3 hours.

This feeding frequency should be maintained during the first 4 weeks, afterwards, we will begin to alternate bottle feeding with solid feeding administration.
