How to feed my pregnant dog

When our dear friend is expecting puppies, we are filled with joy and tenderness; And the little ones are sure to be so pretty, so sweet, so… wonderful that we will immediately want to protect them, even if they are still a few weeks away.

For everything to go well, we need to take care of the little furry even better than we were already doing. Therefore, I am going to explain to you how to feed my pregnant dog.

Do I think dry or wet food?

The pregnant dog will need to receive all the necessary nutrients so that both she and her little ones can be well. In addition, it is very important to keep her hydrated at all times, otherwise her health and that of the puppies could be seriously threatened.

In pet stores we find dry feed and wet food (cans) for dogs. The first has 40% humidity, while the second has 70%. So that no unpleasant surprises arise it is highly recommended to give him excellent quality wet food, that does not have cereals (oats, corn, barley, wheat, rice) or by-products.

Provide fresh, clean water

Even if we already do, now more than ever you should be able to drink clean, fresh water. Thus, We will clean the drinker once a day and refill it whenever necessary. Without this food, you could have problems both during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Give prizes

For her good behavior, for how much we love her. Let's give him some doggie treat from time to time. It sure makes him very, very happy.

The pregnant dog needs, in addition to a high-quality diet, a series of attentions that allow her to be relaxed. To get it, it will be very important that the atmosphere at home is as calm as possible. Likewise, we can take the opportunity to pamper her and let her do a little what she wants 😉.
