How to feed a puppy:

Heat:

Dogs can calculate how many calories they need according to a detailed formula of the relationship between calories needed and weight and weight gain. Generally speaking, the average weight of puppies at birth is 330 grams. Artificial puppy milk, which is common in shopping malls, has a calorie of 4.2 kilojoules per milliliter.

Puppies gain 10% weight every day. According to the above formula, dogs will gain 33 grams of weight every day. The body needs 1 kg body weight 16 kilojoules, and the dog needs 528 kilojoules every day.

If puppy milk can provide 4.2 kilojoules per milliliter, then a puppy needs 126 milliliters (528/4.2) of dog milk every day (24 hours).

Puppies eat food 8 times a day, and each time they need 17ml whole milk. Of course, you can also feed the puppy 9 times a day (every 4 hours at night and every 2 hours during the day), so that you can feed the dog 14ml each time.

Water:

A puppy needs 150- 180ml of water per kilogram. The newborn puppy weighs 330 grams and needs 50-60 ml of water every day. We can feed the dog enough water every time according to the feeding plan mentioned in the above article. For example, if it is fed for 9 times, then each feeding is 6-7ml of water (63ml/9).

Ambient temperature:

Generally speaking, it is recommended to keep the indoor temperature between 24℃ and 27℃ for the first three weeks. If it is a puppy who doesn't live with his mother, the temperature needs to be between 30 degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Celsius in the first week, and around 27 degrees Celsius in the second and third weeks. After that, the temperature can be reduced to 2 1-22 degrees Celsius.

If there is a big gap between temperature and attraction, it is very dangerous for puppies. We can judge whether the temperature is appropriate according to the performance of the puppy. If the puppy sleeps quietly and lies in the puppy box separately, then the current temperature is suitable.
