The diet is nutritionally balanced, fed regularly and quantitatively, and puppies have weak digestion ability, so human food is both tempting and dangerous for them. Therefore, owners must be ruthless and provide only specialized and high-quality dog ​​food to their puppies. Develop the habit of regular feeding and don’t give it random snacks. Avoid letting puppies develop bad habits of being picky eaters, which may lead to malnutrition. Don’t be overly full every time you feed. Generally, 7-8 minutes of fullness is enough.

Understand the health status of puppies through their feces. Pay attention to the color, smell and presence of insects in the pup’s feces. Normal feces are strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and slightly yellow. But it may also be affected by food. For example, when eating meat or animal liver, the feces will usually be black. The urine is light yellow and clear and transparent. When you pee for the first time in the morning, the color will be darker. If you find that the urine color is always darker, you should suspect whether you are sick.

Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching cold. Don’t think that keeping warm is only needed in winter. It is also needed in summer. Be careful not to let the puppy's belly touch the ground for a long time, as this will easily catch cold and cause diarrhea or a cold.

Don’t go out for a walk with your puppy before five months of age. Puppies should not go out for a walk because their bones are not fully developed. Walking for a long time will cause bone deformation in the limbs and they are also susceptible to diseases. But you can play with it indoors.
