Puppies grow to one month old At that time, although it was still early for weaning, he was already more lively and active, and had the instinct to imitate and learn from the mother dog. From this time on, you should consciously feed the mother dog in front of the puppies so that they can have the opportunity to come into contact with the food and learn to eat a little bit like the mother dog. Since the puppy cannot chew hard food, the mother dog should be fed some delicious soup or relatively minced meat porridge so that the puppy can eat it.

Apply stimulation method

After 50 days, if the female dog does not take the initiative to wean and the puppies do not take the initiative to eat food, artificial weaning will be necessary. At this time, you cannot simply use the isolation and starvation method. After starving them for a period of time, their desire to feed will be stronger. Before the dog sucks milk, apply the bitter juice of bitter cambogia tree, bitter gall, bitter melon, etc. to the dog mother's nipples, and put some liquid and non-liquid food next to the dog mother. This way, when the puppy sucks milk, a bitter taste will make the dog suck. They gradually lose interest in sucking milk, and at the same time, the bitter taste is unpleasant, which will increase their interest in eating to dilute the bitter taste.

Forced isolation method

If you use the above method and it is time to completely wean them, but they still refuse to wean them, then you need to use harsh methods. Pen them up, take the bitch away, don't let them see the mother dog, stop feeding them milk, and only give them food. Generally, they will eat food if they are hungry for a day or two.

Notes

It should be noted that you cannot attract them with food that is too good or too delicious at the beginning. You need to cultivate their interest in various foods, otherwise they will become partial and picky eaters in the future; In the initial stage, liquid food is the main attraction, and some non-liquid food should be given to them appropriately; puppies' gastrointestinal digestion ability is not strong, so do not feed them soups that are too greasy, otherwise they will easily have diarrhea.
