Puppy Intensive Care: A Breeder's Guide To Care Of Newborn Puppies

Breeders can save puppy lives!

Learn to use the same techniques that medical hospitals use on human newborns to save the lives of puppies. Because many of the problems encountered in newborn pups have nothing to do with genetics or birth defects, it is important for the breeder to be prepared to administer simple, straightforward measures to help a puppy in distress. Puppy Intensive Care book and video will teach you exactly what you need to do, how to do it, and when to do it.

Author and dog breeder Myra Savant-Harris applies her experience from more than 20 years of labor and delivery and neonatal nursing to caring for newborn puppies. She gives you this information in friendly, non-technical language, as one dog breeder to another. She knows what it’s like to be the only chance this puppy has to survive.

You will learn:

- How to evaluate the status of a newborn puppy before taking action

- How to warm a chilled pup, administer oxygen and hydration

- What the best way is to replace colostrum if the mom can't provide it

- What equipment to have on hand, where to buy it and how to use it

BONUS! Includes a video link so you can see exactly how to use these life-saving skills.

What the experts have to say about Puppy Intensive Care:

I learned many useful points from Savant-Harris' book. Whether you are a novice breeder or have been breeding for years, this book has at least a few ideas you haven't thought about. From her great warming box concept to correct suctioning, from the availability of frozen colostrum to the Whelping Nest, Puppy Intensive Care is a definite pick for the litter.

Pat Hastings, Breeder, Judge, Lecturer and Author of Tricks of the Trade.

A must-read for those who plan to breed, whelp and raise pups. She not only covers the basics of care for the newborn, she also walks you through the important steps necessary to maintain their health and development. Her many descriptive statements of things to notice and what to look for in the normal pup and the one in trouble is something every breeder needs to know. Read it before your next litter is born.
