Can newborn puppies bask in the sun? Guys, let’s find out!

A puppy with a cute and cute appearance will always win the love of many friends. However, many people have doubts about newborn puppies, that is, can newborn puppies like this be exposed to the sun?

1. How many days can the puppy bask in the sun?

The puppy's eyes will open about eight days after birth, and one to two days after the puppy's eyes are fully opened, the puppy can be allowed to bask in the sun. Under normal circumstances, puppies should choose to bask in the morning or when the temperature is moderate, such as 6 to 10 in the morning and 4 to 5 in the afternoon. The temperature is more suitable and the ultraviolet rays are not too strong, which is more acceptable to the puppy. Never choose noon or afternoon, otherwise your dog may suffer from heatstroke and other conditions.

2. How long does it take for puppies to bask in the sun?

Puppies generally bask in the sun for about 1-2 hours. If you stay in the sun for too long, it may cause damage to your dog's eyes. In summer, dogs can bask in the sun for half an hour to an hour, which can promote calcium absorption. If the dog is over one year old, there is no need to bask in the sun every day, just 3-5 times a week.

3. Precautions for puppies basking in the sun

1. Because the body and skin of newborn puppies do not have the function of feeling heat, too strong light may cause skin sunburn, so owners must pay attention to the appropriate temperature and length of time. Do not expose the puppy to the sun, otherwise it will cause heat stroke or sunburn.

2. Because newborn puppies are still relatively weak and have not been dewormed or vaccinated, their resistance and immunity are very low, and they are easily infected with diseases when they go out. Therefore, it is recommended that owners should not take their puppies out to bask in the sun. They can spread carpets on the floor at home and let their puppies bask in the sun when the sun is warm. This will not cause the puppy to catch a cold, but can also promote the absorption of calcium in the puppy's body.
