The first 24 hours of a puppy’s life are critical, particularly when it comes to colostrum intake, early nutrition, and establishing a healthy start.
Careful observation is important, but accurate records can reveal concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
To accompany our article, The First 24 Hours: Colostrum, Immunity, and a Window We Cannot Get Back, we’ve created a free, printable Puppy Monitoring Sheet to help breeders document birth weights, first nursing, weight changes, and important observations for each puppy.
It’s a simple tool designed to encourage more informed decisions, earlier recognition of potential problems, and better communication with your veterinarian.
Download your free copy, print it, and keep it with your whelping supplies.
