Puppies need mum longer
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Separating puppies from their mothers too early can lead to behavioural problems later in life, a study has found.
Dogs taken from the litter aged between 30 and 40 days were far more likely to be destructive, noisy or aggressive than those separated at 60 days, according to a survey of 140 dogs by vets in Naples, Italy, published in the Veterinary Record.
