Directions for Preparing Milk:

1. Add half the water to the powder and mix to form a paste.
2. Add the remaining water and mix thoroughly.
3. Ensure the water is warm (not hot) to avoid curdling.
4. Store prepared milk in the refrigerator for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 2 weeks in small portions (e.g., ice cube trays).

Feeding Guide:

• Temperature: Warm milk to approximately 35°C.

Additional Tips:

• Stimulate Digestion: Help puppies defecate and urinate after each feed.
• Hydration: Provide pre-boiled water between feeds during hot weather.
• Encourage Self-Feeding: Once puppies' eyes are open, encourage them to lap milk and gradually introduce solid food.

Growth Guidelines by Breed:

• Consistent weight gain is a good indicator of health. Weigh puppies regularly to track growth and adjust feed volumes as necessary.
• Avoid overfeeding, as it may cause diarrhoea.

Weaning Process:

• At 4 weeks, puppies will begin showing interest in solid food.
• Offer puppy dry food soaked in milk to encourage them to transition to solids.
• Gradually reduce milk intake and increase solid food until fully weaned by 8 weeks.
