In Orijen's white paper, they say that the only times dogs require carbs is when they are puppies and when a bitch is reproducing. I wonder how true this is? If it is true, how would you increase a bitch's carb intake without disturbing her digestive system? Would it be a good idea to change the bitch from Orijen to something like Acana which contains more grains? And then, would it be better to feed the Acana Adult or Puppy/Junior?

Mary, the raspberry syrup helps with the whelping process because it's a mild and natural substitute (sort of) for oxytocin, right? After the whelp, it's a good idea to supplement with scrambled eggs once a day?
