The first several months are very important in life of one and all beings. During this period it is very necessary to pick up the healthy nutrition necessary for physical development and health that will become a contribution to further formation of a full-fledged organism.

Advantage and harm

Dairy products are rich with nutrients and vitamins. Phosphorus, group B vitamins, calcium, coenzyme is a part of products of dairy production. The children feeding and pregnant women and also people of advanced age remain the main consumers of milk steadily.

As well as people, dogs need consumption of the dairy products which are a source of irreplaceable calcium and protein. But milk is capable to do also harm: swelling, digestion violation, can promote removal of calcium from an organism. It needs to be remembered, adding products of this category to a diet of the pet.

Age features of dogs

Newborn puppies drink mother's milk up to 4 months then they pass to soft and dry, firm feeds or usual products, but with some restrictions. When the puppy becomes more senior, it is worth stopping milking to him because the enzyme emitted in the first months of life for splitting of the lactose which is contained in dairy products is emitted with a pancreas less with age. Consumption of milk an adult dog can lead to loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, the general weakness and fast overfatigue.

Dogs are in rare instances capable and to digest lactose at more adult age and to take milk-containing products without harm for health. But the pets who lost this ability, as a rule, refuse milk.

Whether to give to a puppy cow's milk

The feeding up of newborn puppies begins in cases when at mother milk was gone or at its shortage in too big dung.

It is worth milking to breeds of large and average dogs up to 3-4 months, to representatives of dwarfish breeds - no more than 1.5 months. The volume of the cow's milk added to a diet depends on weight. If mother of puppies does not exceed 10 kg, then 70 ml of milk a day the first 2 days are given, further 7 days are given on 90 ml a day. If a puppy from a large dog weighing 30 kg and more, then 170 ml the first two days, the next 7 days – on 230 ml.

At the shortage of maternal milk, it is necessary to consider not only the general rules, but also specific features of puppies. They cannot be overfed at all, it is also necessary to watch that pets were full. It is easy to define it, the first several months of life a puppy are almost all the time in the sleeping state. If he behaves uneasily, whines, it is worth increasing the amount of milk consumed by it.

One more rule which should be observed: that cow's milk was most approximate on structure to mother's milk, in it it is necessary to add crude egg to proportions 1 piece on 0.5-1 liter.
