Feeding dogs after pregnancy: diet

1. Early pregnancy: normal diet. There is no need to add any nutrients to adult dog food. This will cause the female dog to absorb excessive nutrients and cause a burden.
2. Second trimester: Eat small meals frequently, and increase food intake according to the number of fetuses. Bitches with a small number of babies only need to increase their feeding amount by 30%, while bitches with a large number of babies only need to increase their feeding amount by 60%. You can choose dog food marked with the words "growing", "puppy" or "pregnant" to increase nutritional intake.
3. Late pregnancy: In order to promote milk secretion, the female dog must consume some high-quality protein, such as eggs, meat, etc., and supplement vitamins, minerals and calcium.
