This episode highlights crucial health and hygiene aspects that every breeder should be well-versed in. We explore various factors that can lead to health issues in our beloved canines, from poor hygiene practices to trauma and weak immune systems. Learn to recognise the symptoms that indicate your dog might be in discomfort and understand why pain thresholds vary between breeds.

Discover the often-overlooked hazards puppy nails pose and how simple tools can prevent unnecessary trauma. Find out Sara’s hygiene ‘ick’ and how that may impact nursing puppies.

We answer the question, “Is more milk always better for nursing puppies?” and debunk the misconception that expensive dog food guarantees quality nutrition. We also dive into the role of diet, including the benefits of incorporating vegetables, and consider the unique challenges breeders face in multiple-dog households.

We also unravel the mystery behind cabbage leaves' potential effectiveness in treating mastitis and delve into the complexities of black mastitis, weaning, and the impact of puppy teeth trauma.

Whether you're a seasoned breeder or an enthusiast looking to deepen your understanding of canine health and hygiene, this episode of Breeders Brew is packed with invaluable insights and practical tips to ensure the well-being of your furry companions.
