When raising teacup dogs, special attention should be paid to the temperature in which they live. In winter, pay attention to keeping warm and keeping the temperature; in summer, pay attention to ventilation and keeping cool. Indoors must be cleaned and disinfected frequently, and kept dry and tidy. Food requirements: Puppies should live a regular life. Feeding should be regular and quantitative, and nutrition should be balanced. Be careful to prevent hypervitaminosis (especially vitamin A or D) or calcium deficiency. Puppies should not overeat, generally 7-8 minutes is appropriate.

It is necessary to pay close attention to the urine and defecation conditions of puppies to determine whether they are normal.

The frequency of bowel movements generally changes with the age of the dog. Dogs can eat several times a day in 1 month, and an average of about 3 times a day by 2 months old. The frequency of stool is related to the type of food: for example, when feeding meat and rice, the amount and frequency of stool will be less; when feeding more starchy food, the frequency and amount will be higher. Pay attention to the color, smell and presence of worms in the puppy's stool. Normal stool is strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and usually slightly yellow. But it is also affected by food. For example, if you eat a lot of meat or feed some liver, your feces will usually turn black.

The frequency of urination also changes with the age of the dog. For 1-month-old dogs, it’s about once every 2 hours, and for 2-month-old dogs, it’s about 5 to 6 times a day. Urine that is light yellow and clear and transparent is healthy. The first time you urinate in the morning, the color will be slightly darker. However, if you find that the urine color remains darker, you should suspect whether you are sick, and it is best to go to the animal hospital for examination.

It is best to go to the animal hospital for a physical examination every month, with stool and urine tests, and intestinal parasites removed if necessary. Note: Look for an animal hospital with a good reputation and good facilities.

Puppies are afraid of the cold, so whether it is winter or summer, you must pay attention to keeping them warm.

The physique of teacup dogs is much worse than that of ordinary dogs. Their life span is generally 10 to 15 years. During the breeding process, special attention should be paid to reducing the number of baths. Especially for newly purchased teacup dogs, do not bathe with water. . Use dry cleaning powder to dry clean once every five days, and use a brush to brush for a while.

The teacup dog looks relatively petite, but is actually more delicate. Compared with other dog breeds, it is more difficult to raise. It should be noted that people have the impression that teacup dogs are difficult to raise. In addition to being more delicate themselves, it is also closely related to the fact that many businesses use deformed toy dogs to pretend to be teacup teddy dogs and are prone to death. The real teacup Teddy dogs introduced from South Korea are relatively easy to maintain.
