Pregnancy and lactation change a dog’s nutritional demands. A veterinarian should help evaluate food choice, intake, body condition, and any need for supplementation.
Questions to take to your veterinarian
- Is the food labeled complete and balanced for the dog’s current life stage, including growth and reproduction where appropriate?
- How should body condition and weight trends be monitored?
- What records should be kept for the dam and litter?
- Could adding supplements unbalance an otherwise complete diet?
