LIFE AFTER PUPS - GETTING BACK INTO CONDITION

[celebrity6]

Hi Everyone,
Our dog is due to have pups in a couple of weeks. The last time she had a litter it took quite awhile for her to get back into condition.
What would you recommend to bring her back into good shape asap?

In the last 3 weeks of pregnancy and during lactation, they have a much higher demand for protein and calcium in their diet - growth of unborn pups and milk production etc... The best thing to do would be to change her off her regular dog food onto the puppy version which is higher in these things until the pups are fully weaned. Make sure any changes you make to her diet are gradual over a few days so you don't upset her tum. Good Luck.
