How do you know if your dog’s milk is enough?

To determine whether your dog’s milk is sufficient, you can observe the following indicators:

1. Observe your dog’s behavior: If your dog is active and energetic during nursing, and behaves actively when feeding, then it is likely that the milk is sufficient.

2. Watch your dog’s weight gain: Your newborn dog’s weight should increase steadily in the first few weeks of life. If your dog's weight gain is slow or stagnant, it may be a sign that he's not getting enough milk.

3. Observe the dog’s defecation: The dog’s defecation should be yellow or tan soft stool. If the dog has abnormal defecation or constipation, it may be a sign of insufficient milk supply.

4. Observe the dog’s sucking behavior: Observe the dog’s sucking action when sucking milk. If the dog sucks hard and lasts for a long time, it may be a sign of sufficient milk supply.

If you suspect your dog is not producing enough milk, it is recommended to seek advice from a veterinarian or professional dog breeder. They can judge whether the milk is sufficient by observing the dog's weight, behavior and health status, and provide corresponding advice and help.
