How to Wean your Dog

Wean the puppy on the fourth week of life with natural goat or cow milk, thickened with honey. This milk must be administered in a warm, almost cold, state -- never hot. After that, as a nutritional support, you can reinforce the milk with a flour preparation made of elm tree bark. When searching for this product in specialized stores, bear in mind that it is not cheap, and you will notice that some manufacturers will combine the tree bark with simple cheap flour. The real, genuine elm tree bark that I know is brown and has a characteristic smell.

The milk that you must give your puppies can not be powdered or processed milk as the process destroys the vitamins and specific properties. Therefore, you must make an effort and try to get natural, un-boiled goat or cow milk. I know that it isn't easy to get this kind of milk nowadays because in modern unstable agriculture, the milk producing animals are locked up in "factories". However, if you really want to raise healthy dogs you must make all the necessary preparations in order to feed them correctly. This might even mean that you will have to get your own goats.

For example, who, in their right mind, would try to raise horses without having a big enough property for them to run around and graze? And, nevertheless, there are hundreds upon hundreds of breeders who breed their dogs without having the right locations for doing so, thus jeopardizing the health of their dogs and resulting litters.
