Alcohol
Alcoholic beverages and food products containing alcohol is toxic to your puppy. Even small amount of alcohol in puppies can cause life threatening toxicity. Keep in mind that all alcoholic beverages should be off-limit to pets.
As in humans, when a dog or cat is exposed to alcohol it causes depression of their central nervous system. Its effects on a pet’s nervous system are similar to those of humans in many ways. A dog slows down, becomes drowsy and loses coordination.
If they’re exposed to higher levels of alcohol it can depress their nervous system to the point that their breathing and heart rate slow down. Their body temperature drops. Their blood chemistry is also altered, leading to a dangerous condition called metabolic acidosis where the blood becomes too acidic.
At this point, without treatment, death soon follows usually due to cardiac arrest. Even if a dog or cat doesn’t die from the acute effects of alcohol poisoning, the toxin can still harm their kidneys and liver, reducing quality of life over time.
Can I give my 1-month-old puppy milk?
One-month-old puppies should not have regular milk. Dogs are lactose intolerant, and normal cow’s milk can give them diarrhea. While puppies should stay with their mom until at least 8 weeks old, at 4 weeks old they should be able to begin to eat soft puppy food, mixed with puppy-specific milk replacer as appropriate.
Sardines are a great treat for puppies on occasion, as they contain healthy oils (such as Omega-3) that can improve their skin and coat health. Some canned sardines can be kept in oil or saltwater, and thus more unhealthy for your pup, so look for sardines that are fresh, frozen, or kept in freshwater only.
Why Puppies Love Treats
For dogs, eating can be a communal event and hand feeding your puppy helps reinforce the bond of love you share. Puppies often beg for attention and get rewarded with treats, but keep in mind that attention in the form of walks, training, and play are all very important things to focus on for their development.
Treats in puppies should be reserved for training situations, and caution should be used to not disrupt their nutritional balance that is more critical at this growth stage. By reserving treats for training, we better strengthen the bond between you and your puppy, creating a better behaved dog and an increased reliance on you, as well as a desire to please. One on one time is often an overlooked but highly rewarding “treat” for your dog.
