How do you clean mother dogs after giving birth since not all wipes and cleaners are safe to use around a newborns skin? Breeder's Edge NurseMaid Wipes clean mom's belly and maintain a hygienic area for nursing puppies and kittens. These cat and dog wipes are non-toxic, non-flavored, and safe to use around newborns, pregnant and nursing dogs and cats. Neonatal puppy and kitten skin is thin and translucent, allowing chemicals to be readily absorbed through the skin while nursing. Using gentle cleaners on mom, may help prevent newborn illness or loss due to chemical exposure.
