You don't want to use any calcium supplements while they are pregnant. Calcium rich foods are absorbed by the body different than supplements. That's why it's good to give food with calcium vs. a supplement. You don't want her body to quit making it's own calcium. Plus, you have to make sure that she's getting the proper amount of Vit. D to absorb the calcium. Sunlight is an excellent source of Vit. D.
I personally don't like Eukanuba. She would do much better on the Wellness puppy. I also don't supplement with any other foods other than their kibble until the last week of their pregnancy. As I said before, you don't want the puppies to get too fat, which could result in a difficult whelp.
Cal-sorb is used during whelping if her labor stalls. Or it's used if she gets eclamptic on you. It's definitely a good product to keep on hand. Not necessarily something you will have to use, but definitely good to keep.
