New Moms

Question
We are going into the 1st week of my dogs 1st puppies. She has been really good up into last night, she is starting to act really nerves and keeps moving the puppies.

Answer
Hi Dianne,

She is letting you know she needs more privacy. Make sure she has a place where there is no household traffic and only one family member checks on them. If too many handle them, mom is overwhelmed by all the other odors. They depend so much on the scents from the puppies to clarify their needs. Too many other scents block the puppies scents and can hinder parental bonding. She is making serious efforts to find more privacy. Give her this for at least the first 3 weeks.
Best wishes...Lisa
