Re: what to feed a pregnant bitch??

thanks for your replys.
i know the books tell us feed normally for the first 6 weeks ,but i let my bitches decide when they need extra ,one bitch was starving at five weeks ,so changed her diet to puppy feed
all bitches are so very different , i have two expectant mums at the moment
one bitch would eat all day if i would let her
the other one needs seems quite happy on the three small meals of puppy food
she is day 46 today
I know by the end she should have 50% more feed , at the moment she is having same quantity as normal only a better higher protein puppy food
ive found giving more quantity can make them go off there food
