food and care for pregnant shih tzu; NuVET will help milk production;

Question
I would like to know if we should feed our female shih tzu different food when pregnant....and if we should stop salamectin [ FLEA TREATMENT ] DURING THIS TIME ?

Answer

Powder or Wafers - NuV Hi - During this time she should get a little x-tra special nutrition:  Here is a recipe for doggie meatballs.... She can have 2 per day as a snack - VERY good for her - you can freeze them and take out what you want each day.

Also, a good supplement for pregnant and nursing dogs is the NuVET wafer: info below:
They will deliver to Canada for an x-tra fee...WORTH it - helps with mom's milk production, too.


Dog Meatballs  --- EASY to make : SHE will LOVE you for this!!!!

Dog Dog Food Recipe by Michele, provided to her by her vet.

Ground chicken  1 to 1 1/2 lbs
Ground beef  1 lb
4% small curd cottage cheese
2 cups quaker oats soaked in low sodium chicken broth
peas
string beans
2 tablespoons salmon or fish oil (health food store or break open capsules from grocery store)
2 eggs
2 boiled yams or sweet potatoes -this is great protein and helps keep everything moist.

Mix together and make into meatballs the size of your dogs portion. Bake them at 350 until they are completely done.
Freeze into bags and warm up in microwave until warm and serve. They should love it and it is all digested so there is very little waste and smell.
