The puppies have a balanced diet, and their digestive ability is weak. Human food is both tempting and dangerous for them. Therefore, the owner must make up his mind to provide only special and high-quality dog food for the puppy. Get into the habit of feeding regularly and don't give it snacks at ordinary times. Avoid letting puppies develop the bad habit of picky eaters, leading to malnutrition. Don't be too full every time, usually 7-8 minutes is enough.

To understand the health status of puppy feces, we should pay attention to the color, smell and presence of worms in puppy feces. Normal feces are strip-shaped, moderate in hardness and yellowish. But it may also be affected by food, for example, when eating meat or animal liver, the feces are generally black. The urine is light yellow and clear. If you urinate for the first time in the morning, the color will be darker. If you find that the color of urine has become darker, you should wonder if you are sick.

Keep warm to avoid catching a cold. Don't think that you only need to keep warm in winter, and summer is the same. Be careful not to let the puppy's abdomen land for a long time, so it is easy to catch cold and cause diarrhea or cold.

Don't take it for a walk. Five months ago, puppies should not go out for a walk. Because the puppy's bones are not fully developed, long-term walking will lead to limb bone deformation and easy to get sick. But you can play indoors.

When the sunshine is not very strong and the outdoor temperature is not too high, dogs should be taken out to bask in the sun, which is beneficial to the bone growth of puppies.

Immunity is very important. Two months after the puppy is born, the antibody brought from the mother has almost disappeared, and at this time it is most likely to be infected with various viral diseases. Therefore, the most important thing is to vaccinate against canine distemper, canine parvovirus and infectious hepatitis. Only in this way can we be prepared.
