| Vitamins or Supplements For those of you that breed, what vitamins or supplements do you give your breeding dams and sires?

| You have to be very careful when using any kind of supplements...We just feed a high quality dog food...increasing the amount the last two weeks of gestation...You want your mom in good physical shape, not overweight, so she can deliver without problems...Obese moms have a higher incidence of inertia or distocia...So make sure she still gets her normal exercise! If you overfeed your mom you run the risk of making fat babies ...fat babies are more difficult to deliver...

| I feed mine Nutro Chicken Rice and Oatmeal and when they are pregnant I feed them that same but only in puppy food for the extra nutrients. We have always had nice healthy litters, but I just wondered if anyone gives an extra vitamin or suplement during this time as well. Thanks!
