About this listen

Worried that something in your setup could trigger mastitis or put your puppies at risk? Are you unsure if your hygiene routine is truly protecting your litter as it should?

In this episode, we delve into the fundamental health and hygiene principles every breeder needs to master, from recognising early signs of pain or infection to preventing trauma and supporting weakened immune systems.

We cover the risks of sharp puppy nails, question whether more milk is always better, and reveal why expensive food doesn’t guarantee better nutrition. You’ll hear about Sara’s top hygiene ‘ick’, the truth about cabbage leaves for mastitis, and how diet, weaning and puppy teeth can all impact lactation.

For support that takes your breed, background and breeding mindset into account, join the Brew Crew for personal, practical guidance from breeders who genuinely understand the journey.
