Thank you Kathy. The ‘puppy’ food is actually Mother & Pup starter from RC so
it’s well balanced. But I will keep and eye on her (once she’s officially
declared enceinte) and vary the ingredients with some raw protein.

Nothing, nothing, nothing! And check that you don't have too much calcium in
the puppy food which can lead to uterine inertia and/or eclampsia. Calcium to
phosphorous should be 1:1.
(I just keep a gal on adult or if I feel she needs a bit more, performance,
again, checking the calcium.)

I’d be interested in replies to this also.
One thing that I don’t do is to use anything chemical (ie heart guard,
flea/tick applications, immunizations, fancy shampoos) during the pregnancy nor
while she’s nursing. I have her on puppy food now. What else can I do to
naturally supplement her.
Thank you

Good evening! Does anyone have any tips regarding the pregnant bitch? Any
additions to her diet? Supplements?
What do you do regarding monthly heart guard tablets and flea/tick applications?
Thank you,
Sarah
