pregnant poodle

Question
Our two year old poodle may be pregnant.  Should we be feeding her something special like puppy food until we have confirmed that she is having puppies?  Anything else we should be doing or giving her to make the process easier for her.

Answer
Hi Shaw

DO NOT feed her puppy food.  That's the biggest mistake most breeders make.  Puppy food will make the pups grow bigger BUT the down side is that your female may require a c-section because of that.

You are better off to feed her high quality kibble and include vitamins. It' important not to overfeed so that she becomes overweight and out of shape.  Keep up her exercise, keep down her weight and her whelping should be a piece of cake.

Good luck
