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?
While your question is valid; you made statement, everybody does things differently and it's your decision, as to go with your vet's advice or your gut.

If the female is on a high quality food without soy there is no need to change to a puppy food. This was per both my vets; in different parts of the country....
