How do you take care of a new born puppy?

Answer 1

Keep the puppy warm. Young puppies cant regulate their own body temperature. Chilling is extremely harmful. They need a constant supply of artificial heat (heating pad) if mom is not available to keep them warm. Keep him indoors and keep his bedding clean. Bottle feed every 2-3 hours if the mother is not there to feed him or wont feed. You will need to buy a bottle and puppy formula. Cow milk or human baby formulas will not do. Neonates under 2-3 weeks of age usually do not spontaneously eliminate on their own. (Some do, but this is not enough to prevent possible stasis which can lead to infection). To help your newborn, use either a cotton ball or Kleenex moistened with warm water. Gently stroke the genital/anal area before and after feedings. If the animal does not go at this time, try again within an hour.

Answer 2

Ok, to take care of puppies, keep the runt at the bottom when the mother is feeding them because it needs more heat. And don't worry about their pee or poo because when they are very little they dont know when to go so the mom will take care of it.
Keep some newspaper or cardboard on the ground for when their older for them to pee or poo on. Keep them inside, don't let them out so they can stay warm like in a garage or the house.
You should buy or make another dog house to keep the pups and sometimes mom in.
When their older like 1 month old they'll be soo cute!

Answer 3

Why do you have a new born puppy if you havent researched how to take care of one!? There are several books you can buy. Try finding a "Puppies for Dummies" book. That should help.

Answer 4

Make sure her bed or cage is really clean and comfortable for her. Don't let anything or something hurt her. Always feed her with good food (like maybe milk from her mother), you don't have to let her take a bath except when she's already 7 months old. Good luck on it though!

Answer 5

You don't..the mother takes care of it until it is old enough to start eating solid foods. All you need to do is make sure the bed is kept clean and is in a quiet area away from drafts.

Hi

Just remember that if you want your new puppy to obey, respect, and love you then you need to never ever hurt your puppy. Your new puppy needs to feel safe and secure and if you hit him to punish him he will be to scared to obey you, which could lead to other behavior problems like house breaking. Make sure your children are not hitting the puppy too because he is more likely to bite you or them in self defense if you hit him.

Reinforce your puppies’ good behavior. Praise and treats are always a good way to do just that. Good behavior such as peeing outside, sitting when told to, no barking in the house, etc. Food is a good motivator also. Puppies learn more easily when food is involved because it is more satisfying then toys at that point. Use part of their daily intake so as to not over feed your new puppy, therefore keeping your new dog healthy while training him. If you need to punish your puppy do not yell, use a lack of attention. Puppies thrive on attention so when you don’t pay attention to them that is more then punishment enough.

House train your new puppy as soon as possible. Be consistent! Patience is an absolute must! Your puppy needs time to learn so remember accidents happen. Make sure your puppy socializes. This is important because you can have a well-behaved puppy if you get him into some proactive socializing early on. Your puppies’ most impressionable period, just like children, is when they are young, birth to sixteen weeks. So make sure you are doing all you can to help acclimate your dog to society.

Make sure you handle your puppy every day. Such as brushing, baths, toenails being clipped, ear cleaning are just a few. Also examining and brushing your puppies’ teeth should be on your list of dos for a healthy dog. Your ultimate goal is to have your puppy comfortable and have him look forward to being handled by you or your children. A stressed out dog is no fun for you or the dog, so make sure your puppy gets used to the attention. Make sure you use treats to praise your pup for good behavior during this time, and be gentle, the respond to kindness and tender care more so then harsh words.

Start training your dog not to bite early on in life. Have your whole household be part of this training. It is natural for a dog to want to bite; they have done it since the beginning of time. But it only takes some simple steps to keep your puppy playful but not dangerous. Try playing with your pooch, getting him to bite you, when he does it to hard say ouch! really loud and let it startle him. Stop playing with him for a few minutes and then start over until he learns to play nicely with out hurting you or your children. After practicing this for a few weeks your pup should be thinking that humans couldn’t stand the touch of teeth at all.

Teaching your new puppy what is ok and not ok to chew on is very important. You would like to keep your good shoes good right? Well make sure you teach your pup the ways of your household. Ensuring a happy puppy and happy owner. When you catch him chewing on something he isn’t supposed to, face it you will, say loudly NO! Startle him into not chewing on that item. Hand him a chew toy to chew on instead. Praise him for chewing on his toy and he will be more then happy to chew it into oblivion.

Just remember to give your puppy lots of love. They need it to grow up happy, healthy, and obedient.

Hope that helps and good luck!
