What is the best food to feed my pregnant bitch? I have her on Lamb and Rice puppy food, no corn. She is allergic to corn filler anyways, her coat gets real thin and her skin rashes up. I also giver her a pouch of wet food a day, small pouch for small dogs. I heard that Cottage cheese is good a couple times a week and Turkey burger meat. I've seen turkey in a can (like Tuna), tasted it and it's pretty good, would that be ok? Does anyone know how much would be good and what else I could feed her? I have vitamins but she doesn't like them unless the cats want to eat them! Thanks for any help.

Folic Acid, got it! I will go today and see about it. I put abouta tablespoon of cheese a day to get her to eat some of herNutro Puppy food. She likes the adult stuff better. I'll try to sneak her vitamins a lot harder! If anything else comes to mind let me know, thank you, Alisha
Alls they keep telling me is puppy food and cottage cheese, maybe because I'm in the south. I found out about Folic Acid on this site, thanks!! Her pups turned out great the first time butI was wondering if there was more I could give her. I just started her on Nutri-Stat by Tomlyn and this has 0.19MG of Folic Acid per serving, I giver her some about twice a day now, she doesn't like it alone... the lady said it's like sugar or molases. How she knows this?? I don't know! haha
Yes I've heard it was too salty. What can you tell me would be a good mixer? I was told half a boiled egg is good. Heard anything on that?
I saw a good book at the pet store but it was raining really hard, we got stuck in the store and I forgot my purse, we waited it out. We were in there so long I forgot to go back in for the book, the lady was really nice, she wanted to know all about Pookie and my chickens! haha I will go back today, I think that was the book. Does it have a golden retriever or lab bitch and some puppies walking away in front of her?
I have Pookie on Nutro Lamb and Rice puppy food, made with rice grains and not corn. Great for digestion. It's got ascorbic acid but not folic acid in it. Wait I just looked at the bag, I thought I threw it out! It does have Folic acid!! woohoo Now the problem is that she won't eat it unless there's nothing else to eat. I also give her a small pouch (size of a small can) of wet dog food, lamb and rice. I only feed one of those pouches at night, do you think she will start eating the dry dog food that is left out all the time when she is farther along? I am going to try the boiled egg theory right now and see if she's eat the dry dog food if it's mixed, some warm water too, this is wat I actually start the pups on. She is sooo spoiled! I just bought her a car seat, she like sto sit on my lap but this will help her see out the window without using my breasts as a booster/step!
after these eggs are done boiling I will try to feed her and go get that book.... I made some eggs for me too!! haha I was just flipping thru that book and it showed very detailed pics of the fetus's and what exactly was going on at what stage.
The egg worked! At first she spit out the dry dog food and just licked up the boiled egg peices but after a min she just ate it all up! Thanks Jailer!!
No she told me in a PM, sorry I got that mixed up! I just bought that book though, I cannot wait to read i tonight, skipped thru a couple of sections already.
No I skiped thru a couple of chapters because I was lookign at the book in a store, I just bough the book was going to read is tonight.
