I have a pregnant female and know I need to increase her protein intake at the 4 week stage. I just want to know what are the best proteins to feed this female? She will be for weeks along next week. She is of healthy weight right now and want to keep her muscular and healthy not fat.

I keep my girls on their normal diet throughout their pregnancy - just watch their weight and condition. If they start to fall off weight, I up their food a little, and change to 1/2 adult and 1/2 puppy food at that point. If needed, switching to 100% puppy food will increase the calory intake and protein levels enough IMO to keep the female in top shape. Depending on the female though, I often don't have to change their diet (amount and protein/calory) at all, until after whelping - then they really need much more amount, calories and protein level to maintain the puppies while nursing.
