i am feeding my puppy on baby milk and rusk is this ok?

Answer 1

best thing i found was puppy food & also watered down pasterised milk my puppy loved it

Answer 2

Don't force feed the dog! You're going to make eating a traumatic thing for her and then no wonder she won't eat. Keeping her on the dry food is good enough -- the brand and type you've chosen is a high quality food and needs no addition of extra meat. But if you want to add the chicken, mix it in with her dry food and put it down for her to eat. Give her an hour. If she doesn't eat, take it up and throw it away. Do not give her any treats after she refuses her dinner. Try a meal again in the morning. Bet she will eat it then. If she doesn't though, take it up after an hour and throw it away. Do not give her treats after she refuses breakfast. Try again at dinner. It may take a day or two of missing meals, but she will eat after that. I had a shih tzu who was a "picky eater" and it took 3 days to get her off people food and onto dog food. But I was consistent and followed the vet's advice (what I just described) and it worked. A dog will not starve itself. It will eat when it's hungry enough. But it's never a good thing to force a dog to eat. You could make it choke. And as I said before, you're turning meal time, which is supposed to be a fun thing for a dog, into a traumatic thing. And if she's eating 30 kibbles in the morning and 30 kibbles at night with the treats you describe inbetween, it's very likely that she's simply not hungry and doesn't want to eat any chicken because she's full. And again, the boiled chicken is not necessary -- the Wellness puppy food has more vitamins and nutrients and is better for the dog than boiled chicken anyway.

Answer 3

don't do this! there are proper puppy milks out there, Lactol is one brand. And not rusks. Puppies need a food full of iron, calcium and protein for good growth and energy levels. Didn't the breeder or centre you got him from tell you this? Get a proper puppy food, but if this is too expensive try chicken and brown rice. Better yet talk to a vet!

Answer 4

If its dried powder baby milk then it should be ok, just dilute it down a tiny bit more than u would do for a baby!
Try Weetabix with quite alot of watered down baby milk-Thats what the vet told me to use when my dog refused to feed one of her puppies-its fine if u only give the pup a little bit but often!
Good luck
U can get puppy and kitten milk called Lactose from most pet shops (at least u can in the uk!!)

Answer 5

Dogs are lactose intolerant, do not give them milk. (Human milk that is). Am I to assume this puppy is younger than 5-7 weeks? If so you need to get to a vet and get some puppy formula. Otherwise she should be on puppy food of some kind. Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul makes an excellent food that I would recommend.

Answer 6

Basic Training of the Puppy - Read here https://tr.im/ZN0Vs

The new puppy is certainly one of the most adorable and cuddly creatures that has ever been created. It is the most natural thing in the world to shower it with love and affection. However, at the same time it is important to realize that if you want to have a well trained adult dog, you need to begin the training process right away. The dog, like its related ancestor, the wolf, is a pack animal. One of the features of a pack is that it has a single dominant leader. Your new puppy is going to want that leader to be you, but if you do not assume that role from the very beginning, the puppy’s instincts will push him to become the leader.

The most important thing to remember about training the puppy during its first six months of life is that it must see you as the leader of the family pack. The essential thing is gaining the trust and the respect of the puppy from the beginning. You will not do this by allowing the puppy to do whatever it wants to do whenever it wants to do it. On the other hand, a certain amount of patience is required. Most people err in their early training by going to extremes one way or the other. Although you need to begin the basic training process at once, you can not expect your dog to do too much at first. Basic obedience training is fine and should include simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Remember that trying to teach the dog advanced obedience techniques when it is a puppy is much like trying to teach a five year old child algebra.

It is also important to restrain from cruel or abusive treatment of the puppy. You can not beat obedience into your dog, and it certainly is not going to engender feeling of respect and trust. House breaking is an area where this usually becomes a problem because of the anger that is triggered when the puppy fails and creates a mess inside the home. Although this issue must be addressed without anger, it most be addressed. If you allow the puppy to eliminate inside the house, it will continue to do so as an adult dog. The same thing is true of other destructive or dangerous behavior such as chewing and biting. Do not expect the puppy to grow out of it. You are going to need to train the puppy out of it, but you should do so firmly but with a sense of play and fun using positive reinforcement and lots of love and praise for good behavior.

Answer 7

I have an excellent book on Health which has a chapter on Cats and Dogs. It strongly recommends giving your dog plain low fat yogurt which is high in calcium. I have a year old puppy and the second day I tried it as soon as I took it out of the fridge he was leaping for it before I could even get it into his dish and on the floor. Try it!!!. But Not baby milk

Answer 8

No, any milk(except milk from their mom)makes their tummy upset. Try some canned dog food or regular puppy dog food.

If he's under 3 months, he should still be with his mom.

Answer 9

i had 2 bottle feed 4 pups starting from day one im not sure how old your puppy is but you can buy milk for animals at feed and seeds or at least dilute normal milk with water

Answer 10

If this pup is not weaned, it should be fed by his mom if at all possible. Mother's milk containes immunity to diseases. The pup needs puppy formula, not people formula. Most pet stores carry it.

If weaned, the pup should eat puppy food and drink water.

Answer 11

baby milk is not a good idea
look for puppy s formula n feed it with this only or else it can have its stomach upset or even worse.
gud luck take care
