Lets just agree off hand and say that every veterinarian and breeder does things differently! That being said... Please do not comment on my or my vets practices and try to just answer the question.

Here is my question... In your opinion, when is the best time to start feeding puppy food/supplemental diet to a dam/female who I plan on breeding?

Here is why I ask... My practice has always been to start the moment conception takes place. However my vet said only two weeks prier to whelping.

So what do you more experienced Breeders think?
