How to Ease the Separation Anxiety of a Mother Dog From Her Puppies?

by admin

I have a chihuahua who had 3 puppies a few months back. Now that they are weened, I'll be giving them to various family members. I'm worried that she'll experience a lot of anxiety over this. Are there any ways to ease this? Will she get over having her puppies taken away from her?

Yep, after having many litters myself I can tell you that the best thing that you can do is to leave a few small stuffed toys around her.
She will more than likely start carrying them around and nesting them as she would her pups.
This will only go on for a short while and she will get over it.
Good Luck and God Bless
