Hygiene

Dalmatian puppies, like adults, are very clean. They will never step into a puddle or mud. Representatives of this breed require minimal, standard care.

The puppy's coat should be brushed daily with a stiff brush or a special glove.

Important! Dalmatians shed small amounts year-round, so this procedure is necessary to prevent hair from shedding throughout the house.

Owners of puppies need to regularly examine their pets' mouths to monitor the eruption of molars. If baby teeth are an obstacle to the appearance of permanent teeth, they must be removed. This can be done at home without causing discomfort to your pet.

To do this, you need to put a bandage on the tooth and gently loosen it with two fingers and pull it out.

Puppy ears should be cleaned regularly with a cotton swab dipped in an antiseptic solution.

Important! Often the amount of wax formed in the ears, its color and smell indicate the presence of diseases in the Dalmatian. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly examine the puppy for the presence of ear discharge. If they are in doubt, you should contact your veterinarian.

Dalmatian babies need to be taught to have their nails trimmed. You can do this yourself with a nail clipper or trust a specialist. The procedure must be carried out once a month to prevent ingrown claws and inflammation. After trimming, the claws need to be filed so that they do not peel off.

Dalmatian puppies, like adults, do not have a specific dog smell, so they do not need frequent bathing. It will be enough to bathe your pet once a year.

Vaccination

Up to two months, a Dalmatian puppy is protected by immunity transmitted from its mother. However, it does not protect the baby from all diseases, so it is better not to walk him outside before vaccination.

Only a completely healthy puppy can be vaccinated. Therefore, before the procedure, it is necessary to ensure his health and carry out deworming.

It is recommended to contact a veterinarian for vaccination, but you can do it yourself.

Dalmatian puppy vaccination scheme:

Injections are given intramuscularly into the thigh. You need to repeat the course of vaccinations after a complete change of dentition. Then once a year you should do disease prevention.

After vaccination, you need to monitor the puppy so that he does not become hypothermic. You cannot bathe your baby until the quarantine period has passed. Often after vaccinations, puppies experience temporary lethargy and decreased appetite.

Description and characteristics of newborn puppies

A newborn Dalmatian puppy weighs 350–450 grams. In the first days of their life, babies do not see or hear anything, and cannot control their body temperature. They receive milk and warmth from their mother. At first, the puppies only sleep and eat.

After two weeks, their eyes and ears open and they try to stand on their paws. When there is not enough mother's milk for all the puppies, breeders begin supplementary feeding. The kittens get acquainted with new food and learn to feed themselves.
