Dogs generally do not need human assistance when giving birth, but dogs will be very tired and weak after giving birth. If you are not careful, it is easy to leave the root of the disease. Therefore, pet owners should take good care of their dogs during confinement. So, how should you take care of your dog during confinement? What should dogs eat during confinement? Let’s take a look at the issues~
The food that dogs eat during confinement should be mainly dog food or canned food. You can also feed dogs some specialized nutritional canned food, goat milk powder, nutritional paste, etc.
Because the vitamins and calcium in the body of dogs that have just given birth are lost quickly, it is necessary to supplement the dog with a variety of vitamins, minerals and calcium separately every day to prevent postpartum hypocalcemia. If the dog produces less milk, the pet owner can also stew some pig's trotters, peanut soup, crucian carp soup, etc. for the dog to drink. These will help the dog produce milk, but be careful not to add any condiments.
The above are the foods that dogs can eat during postpartum period. In short, pet owners should remember to supplement the postpartum dog with more nutrients.
