Question
my dog two days ago had 7 puppies which two of them have die what kind of food should i give the mom so she can get enough nutrition for her and her puppies

Answer
Hi Maria

How old is your female?  What is her breed? What was her whelp like? Were the pups born dead or did they fade?

Your female should now be on a good quality puppy food.  Something with a higher fat and protein level.  She should be supplemented with vitamins, oils and raw beef heart, kidney or liver.  Organ meats should only be given in small doses three times a week.
