- Breeders sometimes are faced with a puppy that is not feeding properly because the mom has little milk or the siblings are pushing the weaker one away. And some are rescues as well.
We raise Yorkies and Biewers and have developed many years ago what we believe is a novel way to feed the puppy by replicating the natural method used by nursing mothers.
We hope that this idea can be useful to other breeders who are trying to save a puppy from malnutrition.
Remember to never leave the puppy unsupervised with a sponge in it's mouth. Use common sense when handling any newborn puppy.
We have been asked, but we don't actually sell kits to people as we would not want to profit from this potentially life saving method of helping a puppy or kitten in distress. It belongs to the world as far as we are concerned.
For posterity, we have decided to call our life saving feeding system "Nature's Udder Mother"
The products used in our video were purchased in Canada at Home Sense and Winners. We have found some web links to similar products on the internet:
Here is the link showing the heating bags. Ours are called tictac bags, but the same thing, the same products are often found elsewhere:
• Heat in a Click - Promo
Here is the link to their page.
www.heatinaclic...
Browsers Buttercup Bed
www.theuncommon...
Here is a website that will show some puppy beds.
www.the-dog-bed...
There are probably hundreds of websites showing similar items. We don't recommend any particular product. Just trying to help out those looking for the supplies.
NOTE: we have had a lot of emails in regards to the sponges that we use. The brand name is NOT Visage sponges. That is actually the French word for "FACE" sponges. All drug stores carry latex free makeup sponges.
We are very pleased to see many videos out there using this life saving method. Any mammal can benefit and we hope that the technique continues to be shared by all animal lovers.
When we posted our video in April 2013 we did not see any sponge feeding videos of puppies but now their are quite a few out there and we see some improvements in the method that we originally used.

This has seriously warmed my heart with joy. Its lovely to see and know their are proper breeders out there who care and love their dogs and puppies. I hate hearing about breeders who just care about money money money and not giving two hoots about the mothers and their pups. Thank you for showing us this xx
Nat c nope
Nat c Awwww😍😊
She is so beautiful. Thank you for your love and care. My heart just melted seeing this beautiful puppy. I have a little chihuahua, and she is our baby.
Your excellent method of neonatal puppy feeding is saving a tiny Chinese pug born five days ago. It was touch and go for a while, but she is strong and thriving now! We are so grateful to you for posting this. Your Biewers are gorgeous, and obviously WELL pampered.
I have just today had 8 Cocker Spaniel puppies born 2 of which are tiny, went out and got the sponges and straight away the two puppies started to feed, its amazing. Before I began the feeding they were cold although with their mother and siblings, they are now warm and contented. Thank you so much for sharing this simple easy method to feed pups or kittens
Thank you for being on the pets side. They need someone like you.
Thank you for being so informative and clear thank you for not rattling along about any unnecessary info. Some many times I've heard so much bull. Thank you for being so refreshing
So sweet and kind you are to take the time to care for this little sweetie
Thanks. A little guy just wasn't thriving, only surviving. Giving him this method with goats milk, only supplementing Mom's milk has added a nice full tummy for the first time.
Thank you SO much, you're a godsend! You are so fun, and easy to listen to, very clear and consise. We breed micro tinies, and my family will praise your name forever.
UMMMM SO OK..... o_o
This is an amazing discovery ya'll have made! Talk about the most natural way for a puppy to feel like it's nursing from Mom. Plus, you explained each product and how they work in a way that anyone can understand. God Bless you and others that are working for ways to make animals lives better. Thank you!
Wow, what a wonderful way to replace mom for a new born. Love how it mimics mom. Great job feeding these babies!
awwwwwwww this is just so cute,what a lovely name for this little puppy,

BRILLIANT! I deal with wild damaged babies and HATE trying to feed them, too many pneumonia and aspiration risk, so very scary. Going to stock these supplies ASAP. THANK YOU!
You guys are saints for taking care of these helpless little pups! We are accountable as humans for how we treat those animals weaker than we.
This video is restoring my faith in Humanity
Thanks so much for this great idea! I always have large litters and afraid any assistance I give will cause them to aspirate. Instead I'm continuously rotating puppies and keeping a chart on which ones have nursed and for how long. This is SO natural! I can actually relax when giving any small ones get extra help!
Very educational and explained extremely well. I'm sure this video will benefit many wee babies out there.
Yeah my dog died it was a puppy we never feed him because that's why she died my brother buy a new new new new new doodoo dog and
Just why should you even own a puppy if your not taking good care of it
Now that's just neglecting it, just why??
I just tried this method and I say you make it look easy. It's not as easy but with a little practice so it should go better. Now I had no kitten to try but five baby rabbits. They still live. Even their mother but she is more interested in making more kids. She has not been home in 12 hours. Thank you for this.
Thanks for this,its so good to see someone love & care for our babies.x
I recently loss a weak puppy...I feel this would have saved her.
Thank you .. I will save this forever.
I've been breeding for over 30 years & this is a brilliant idea. I'm going to try to source these items to keep in my puppy cupboard. Thank you for describing the process in such detail
That was absolutely fabulous!!! How times have changed from I used to raise Rottweilers and Yorkies I also love that pouch I know my grown-up Chihuahuas would love that I would have to buy three of them.👉👵👈😉
Thank you very much for your reply, we have a litter of 6 kittens who was born 3 days to early and the mother has not enough milk, we survived already the first week , i am sure going to try your Tip thank you for showing the video !
I CANT , ITS SO CUTE ! LILLY SO CUTE !
Naomi Rueda yes
It is super cute
Awww, fantastic idea, no chance of over feeding or accidentally getting milk into babies lungs. Thank you so much for sharing! :-)
Bless you. I have never seen a puppy that small
SPECTACULAR video !!! I can't believe I never thought of this knowing this was a method used eons ago when mothers could not nurse. Thank you so much for taking the time to share, tape and explain.
This was the cutest most informative puppy feeding video ever!
Awwww. Your the best puppy owner ever
I'm having a similar situation. I have a 2wk old Yorkie-Poo, the mom had a C-section and did not want to nurse. Thank you for the "sponge" tip, I hope lil Ernie will adjust. I pray he survives because 2 of his siblings already died.
This is such an informative video. Thank you so much for sharing. Lily is adorable!
You may have saved one of my 2 week old corgi puppy's life with this video. He would not nurse, I had been tube feeding and sub-q and he was getting stronger -- but would NOT nurse. So, I tried this technique and it took a few minutes -- and then he started suckling! After two feedings, he latched back on to Mom and is nursing.
I'm continuing to supplement him with this method to be sure he gets enough. (He's small in the litter.)
Thanks so much.
This is the smartest idea for a tiny pup I have ever seen. I wish I knew this when I had a micro chi in my litter. I lost the little guy at 5 week, tube feeding him. He almost made it and I feel sick every time I think of that. Thank you for educating me.
Sorry about the loss of your puppy. Unfortunately they don't all make it even with our method. It has been more successful than tube feeding but nothing is guaranteed in life.
Malia Davis
This method of supplementing a puppy is just awesome! We have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy we have been supplementing and tried this for the first time a few days ago. I can't believe how well this works. Thank you SO much for sharing this.
How adorable.....love her little puppy squeaks.🎀💖
She so sweet thank you for saving that puppy
Hi Adele,
Thank you so much for this video; it saved a 3 ounce premature papillon last week who had no chance to live. I had previously purchased the sponges from a beauty supply, the goat milk and had the syringes on hand. There were three puppies in all. I had to modify the sponge to fit his tiny mouth, but he took right to it. He is now 5 days old and has doubled his birthweight. My vet has asked for permission to use your video for other breeders who tube feed without success. Thanks
you have probably saved many puppies lives sharing this. . well done to you miss :0)
This was just amazing. The puppy was so tiny and adorable.. I would be afraid to handle a puppy so small.
I have a cleft palate staffie pup that I am battling to feed as he battles to latch on to the teat of the bottle. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you very much. I can imagine this working well for him
The puppy is so cute😭
Ikr I'm dying of cuteness
I. Love. Your. Videos
She’s so beautiful it’s hard not to cry😅💞
I have never seen anything so cute as this. Ok, maybe I have, but she's so precious. Awww🐶🐶🐶
Adele, I want to Thank You for your ingenious idea of using the cosmetic sponge. I had heard of the technique but actually had the chance to use it this last week for my smaller Golden Puppy. I did do a video for my Mom as she didn't understand when I was telling her what a wonderful trick I had heard of and tried. That video me in my PJ's sponge feeding a puppy went nuts. I just recently learned you are to Thank!!!! THANK YOU you are ingenius. I gave you credit once I learned who created it
Nice tips...I've been breeding small Jack Russell's for 34 years, I've never had a problem using a syringe and the small nipples as they fit right over a 3cc syringe. I remove the needle hub from the syringe. Using my thumb and forefinger I make a seal on the sides of the nipple in the puppy's mouth while it is nursing. I have never had a problem feeding a pup that needs extra food. I fed an orphaned litter once and I found 2-3 hours worked best. I also liked using a facial tissue to potty the pups. No need to poke them with a Q-tip. Personally I like the pups to be able to use their legs as it is a natural nursing reflex.
How brilliant! I’m so glad you posted this video. I’m sure it will save many puppy’s lives! I bet this would work on kittens too. Good luck!👍🏼
They can be reused a few times but must be washed and sanitized very carefully. The sponges are very inexpensive and it may be more convenient for most folks to just use a new one every time.
I`m glad you guys do this cause I have read many reports on google that some puppies have died cause of tube feeding like the choked on it and its good you guys did this I once herd some on put down their baby puppy cause their dog had a litter of puppies and the mom wouldn't take care of it so they put it down thank you so much for taking care of them like this
Great idea. I wish my daughter and I had known this 4 years ago when we took turns nursing our 1 day old Bulldog. It was quite a challenge and after trying out 4 different bottles we finally found one she was comfortable with. This method would have been ideal. thanks for a great video Claude.
That's the best idea ever. Without having the milk go in her nose and just being messy.
She is gorgeous!
Thank you so much for creating this video! This is excellent information. It is obvious that you care very much about your puppies.
So beautiful. To be able to give that baby life's basic needs
The scrunchie idea is genius !!!!! I love how it really holds the head :-) The puppy should be fed in sternal position, though, to avoid aspiration.

Lilly blossom is so dang precious and cute 😊🤗❤💘
THE BEST VID EVER - DONT KNOW WHY BUT I JST LOVE IT :)
Madam, you are a saint, thank you!
I have had to tube feed a litter and only wish I had know your method earlier, this is wonderful and so less stressful on the puppies. Thank-you!
The noise she makes is so sweet
Watched your video thinking it was another RUclips video that looks easy then you try it is impossible ihave at 2 day OES that won't feed from his mum been struggling with a bottle and syringe tried your method bit slow at first but once he got going had his biggest feed thankyou so much it was so easy
"You need a personal human scrunchi" As opposed to an alligator or Opossum scrucnhi. J/K, Love this video. Her little hungry cries are so precious. Thank you for this vid.
Thank you! I never heard of using the sponge. This is GREAT!
+Claude Bisson I wished I would have known this 3 yrs ago. I took in a stray and realized she was pregnant. She was a Chihuahua with pug/beagle babies. she had 5, (1 stillborn), she died about 12hrs after (a sweet dog). I tried to take care of these lil pups, i took them to the vet, watched a lot of videos, learned a lot but, sadly, all died but one. It was a very heartbreaking experience, feeling like I failed them & their momma They were born April 23rd 2012, one passed right after mother's day & a piece of me died with them. I still have the 1st born, and is the silliest dog I've ever known. He is my heart. My Buddha bear. I have each of the pups paw prints I want tattooed. RIP my pups Sweat Pea, Brownie, & Peanut
It's so nice how you took her in. Just remember that you tried to save them and took in their mother, when many people wouldn't have.
+kornnutt4eva This is exactly what is happening to me right now. A stray pitbull found us in July, we decided to keep her after being unable to find the owner, and we found out she was pregnant. I'm guessing because the mother had been unhealthy during half her pregnancy, she's been having a hard time with the puppies. Really difficult labor, 2 still borns, and 1 died after a couple weeks even though we tried saving her. And mama is having her own issues. Guess we didn't do some things right even though we researched. Its sad, but at least the remaining puppies are okay. Strays can be tricky. You never know what they've been through before you take them in.
Good to hear mama didn't pass away. Sorry about the pups that did. I'm wondering if because my mama chi was so small, carrying a litter of puggles, made it really difficult for her. She was all big belly,could barely walk. After giving birth, she looked like a skeleton. So sad. She was a wonderful dog. The small time we had her was a blessing.
+kornnutt4eva I didnt know that the mama passed away, sorry about that. The same thing is happening with our mama right now. She's a skeleton. We are feeding her a lot and we are optimistic she will get better. But we are still worried for her :(
Chihuahuas? Ah jeeze.
That breed of dog has a difficulty in giving birth. Something about them being small.
I raise Chihuahua's and found it is very hard to get them to bottle feed. The sponge feeding looks great to me I am going to try it the next time i have a puppy that will not latch on. This is Amazing Idea!!!!
Thank you for this very informative post . Lovely demonstration, and I am looking forward to trying it. We frequently end up fostering runts and abandoned babies as we are rural and just off two County roads, and people throw unwanted litters into the ditches.
We have been raising traditional Yorkshire Terriers for 30 years and the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier A La Pom Pon for 10 years. They truly are magnificent family friendly puppies.
My lips are trembling trying not to happy cry at the loving and caring way you take care of that little baby
What a marvellous idea. I wish I had known about this years ago. I have used all the other methods sometimes wwith success but often lost puppies.
Great!!! Thank you for posting!
This will be a great help if needed.And if ever my lulu got preggy and she will probably need our help to feed her babies.
You safed my kittens by your link they drink from the sponge now to !!!!
I love your heart 😅
Amazing to know there are more of us sleep deprived big hearts out there 😍
Thank you for this brilliant video!!! What great info :)
This little puppy is so cute🐕!
Warms my heart. Beautiful puppy!
Oh my god she's so cute, lovely little baby, great nurturing
This was posted on my birthday and I love puppies!!!!!😍😍😍
this is invaluable advice, this has always been a massive problem for breeders. Thank you for sharing this, I will add the sponges to my whelping kit.
Awesome technique! Thank you for sharing!😋
What a gorgrous little puppyxx
Hi Lilly B, you have a wonderful caregiver!
So thankful to see a lifesaver like this, awesome... I'm sure there eill be many saved by viewing, and no danger of feeding w/syringe down wrong tube...Thank yo.....
The most instructive video on puppy feeding I've ever seen - thank you very much. Does this work with kittens, too?
Good luck. The sponge method has worked for many people all over the world. I hope that lil Ernie makes it.
Thank you for sharing this helpful video. I am sure there are many people out there turning to You Tube for help for their pups who are not being fed for whatever reason. It is nice for there to be a variety of information out there especially available during times that vets offices are normally closed.
you safed my little once i never can thank you enough for your video
THANK YOU for sharing, what a GREAT video, and help!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a tiny puppy ...
Your method is very interesting, thank you for showing it to us!
I will try it with little kittens... they are sometimes so hungry, that they drink much too fast.
i would literally die for this beautiful creature.
Fantastic tips,now I can take more care of my 7_10 days puppy,,,he was abandoned ,we adopted him,,,
Adele, wondering if you have done any research on the makeup of the sponges. Are they really safe for our babies. I love this approach if I can be sure the sponges are made of safe materials.
Nail polish holds bacteria for an extended period of time, could contaminate puppy. Cute video, great idea!
thanks so much for sharing this method with us! As breeders we are always open to new ideas. I like this one!!
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you SOOO much for this... Our runt was born 3 days ago and weve tried everything! This actually worked and for the first time she ate decent
The first puppy is so cute
Yall pets are cute and fluffy and adorable 😍😇😂
Thank-you!A friend told me about your video.I hope I never have the need,but so good to know!
Such great information. Thank you. Wish you breed West Highland Terriers. Thank you.
Oh my gosh you are a genius! Thank you so much for posting this video!
Great news. I can only imagine how many precious lives have been saved since we uploaded our video.
It's called a Buttercup bed. The links to all of the supplies are listed in our video description. Just expand the view (show more) and you will see all of the details.
Yes it does work on kittens and other mamals as well.
