Creating a Haven for Mom and Pups

When your furry mama's due date is near, it's time to get the birthing room ready. Think of it as setting up a cozy nest for a new family. Keep it quiet, warm, and away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It's like preparing a safe haven for a queen about to welcome her kingdom.

Watch for signs that labor is approaching, like nesting behavior, a decrease in appetite, or a lower body temperature. These are your cues to gear up for the grand arrival.

• Set up a comfortable space with soft bedding.
• Keep the room away from other pets and loud noises.
• Ensure the area is spacious enough for the mother to move around.

Guiding Through the Journey

When the moment comes, stay calm and supportive. Here's what you need to do:

• Avoid feeding her too much; just fresh water and her regular food.
• Be there to encourage her, but don't interfere unless necessary.
• Keep a clean pair of scissors, alcohol, and cotton balls handy for脐带剪断 and cleaning.

Remember, each dog is unique, so go with the flow and trust your instincts.

Welcoming the Newcomers

Once the little ones are here, the real work begins. Here's how to care for your new family:

• Keep the puppies warm; a heating pad or a warm towel can do wonders.
• Help the mother clean each pup, and assist with feeding if needed.
• Monitor for any signs of illness or stress in the mother.

It's a lot of work, but the joy of watching your little furballs grow is priceless.
