Will the dog give birth to itself for the first time? Need help from the master? Generally speaking, dogs do not, because dogs are bred by humans and cannot produce themselves.

But in fact, most dogs do not need help from giving birth. The dog will bite the umbilical cord after the puppy is born, then lick the baby cleanly, and then breastfeed. However, it is recommended that the owner pay attention to the dog and send it to the hospital in time if there is sign of difficult delivery.

There are a small number of dogs who are not strong enough to take care of newborn puppies, and they need help from their owners at this time. If the bitch doesn't bite the umbilical cord, the owner will use disinfected scissors to cut the umbilical cord short and help the puppy tear the birthclothes. Finally, place the puppy on the bitch's belly so that the puppy can suck breast milk.
