If you're curious whether your puppy or dog can have gripe water, you need to understand how to burp your pup properly. Firstly, you need to lift your puppy up by the shoulder and put his belly on your shoulders. You should try a few times until you see that your puppy burps properly. Alternatively, you can wait up to thirty minutes after feeding, to allow your puppy's tummy to empty before you attempt to burp it.
