Puppies 3 weeks old

3 weeks old already! a lot has happened in 3 weeks, nail clipping, worming and introducing milk & gruel. This is always an interesting and messy time, first we start with milk replacer mixed with the puppy food they will have when older, the dry puppy feed is soaked, blended and added to milk replacer. Although mum does still feed, this is now starting to reduce as puppies get older.

Puppies are now starting to explore, they can see , hear and are curious to see what the worlds about, they no longer want to be confined to there whelping box, they need a bigger area with different things to explore. They now start to drink water so a small bowl is provided with fresh water at all times.

Puppy play time at this age is the best! At this stage they learn to interact with us, be stroked, picked up and cuddled (very gently) watching the first tail wags is amazing and the greeting we get when they see us.
