borgerm asked:
I have a golden retriever that just had puppies. When do I need to make sure the puppies are not going to the mom for milk anymore. Right now they are 8 weeks old. We are feeding them constantly puppy food. But, whenever they get a chance they always want to go to mom for milk. When does that need to be totally cut off?
Also, her breasts are hanging way down. Will they come back to normal after the puppies are gone?
I am not sure where in my question it said “I didn’t think about when to ween them” before breeding. I am trying to balance her being able to play with the puppies and the puppies suckling on her when ever they get an opportunity. The puppies seem to be very healthy I am more worried about the mom. Thanks,
