what to feed a pregnant gsd - Page 1

i have heard of several different diets to feed a pregnant gsd. what is the best diet and does anyone use supplements/vitiamans ?

you should feed the female puppy food

i'm feeding her Diamond Naturals large breed puppy ( no wheat , no soy , no corn ) should i supplement anything?

In a book I purchased it says to feed

1. raw meat/ tripe 
2. soaked mixer/ biscuit 
3. Vitamins and minerals 
4. full cream milk or goats milk 
4. Scrambled eggs, sardines, mackareel fillet (with the oil drained off) 
6. brown bread 
7. cooked pasta 
8. hard boiled eggs 
9. rice
10. porridge oats, farex, weetabix mixed with milk ( these may be UK brands). 

these are to be made into meals divided during the day. 

This is a traditional method of feeding. 

I hope it helps but don't take my word for it. I still lack the first hand experience to advice, just thought the text book migh be useful. 

I would not feed a pregnant female puppy food, because the calcium levels are to high. The best food to feed is a good quality natural ADULT dog food. If you use any supplements just make sure that they do not contain calcium. If the pregnant females gets to much calcium before she whelps it could cause labor/whelping complications.

After the females whelps it is a different story though. I would at this point use puupy food, cottage cheese and raw meat. I personally use a supplement called PUPPYGOLD. It is awesome stuff!
