It’s important to ensure the well-being of stray puppies. Proper attention to their hygiene and care can make a big difference in their survival and health.
Here are a few tips to keep stray puppies healthy:
Safe space for Stray Puppies
Provide a safe space for the puppies that is clean and dry and safe for them. See that the space is away from main roads and traffic.
Clean shelter/space for Stray Puppies
Provide the mother dog and puppies a clean and hygienic place/shelter to live in.
Clean the shelter or the sleeping area daily so that there is no infection. Clean the area after feeding and remove any kind of waste lying around. See to it that the sleeping area is clean and hygienic for the puppies so that they don’t get any infection and they don’t fall sick.
Food and feeding habit for Stray Puppies
Once the puppies are off their mother’s milk, feed them healthy and nutritious food, which will help them to grow and stay healthy.
Provide nutritious food and clean water. Ensure the puppies are fed according to their age and size.
Use clean bowls while feeding the Stray Puppies. Clean the bowls after every meal.
See to it that they have access to fresh and clean water.
De-flea and De-tick for Stray Puppies
Stray Puppies are prone to parasites like fleas and ticks, which can lead to anemia. Use flea and tick prevention methods like powders or sprays and carefully apply it to them.
Consult a vet if required.
De-worming
Puppies are also susceptible to internal parasites like worms such as round worms and hook worms. Infestation of these worms affects the health of the puppies.
Consult a vet for proper deworming of the puppies and administer them the right dosage at the required frequency.
Vaccination
Vaccinations are very crucial for the puppies. Anti-rabies vaccination and Pupp DP booster are essential for the puppies so that they do not contract viral diseases, which can be life-threatening.
In case you are not aware of the schedule of the vaccination, always consult a vet.
Sterilisation
Once the puppies are old enough, get them sterilised so that they can live a happy, healthy, and peaceful life. For sterilisation, you can seek help from local animal welfare groups or animal NGOs.
Veterinary Care
Take the puppies for regular check-ups and for their vaccinations to the local vet or veterinary hospital.
If a puppy shows severe signs of illness, like persistent diarrhoea, dehydration, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate veterinary help.
Adoption
If the puppies are well looked after and vaccinated, they are healthy and fit and can be adopted by loving families.
Volunteers and care takers can also try for their adoption by raising awareness about adoption on multiple social networking sites.
Care for Stray Puppies in their environment
Always remember to care for puppies in their known environment so that they are independent and learn to take care of themselves.
In case the puppies do not get adopted, they can still continue to survive on their own in their locality.
Adoption – You can adopt friendly dogs and cats who are eagerly waiting for their forever homes.
