Caring for a pregnant dog is an important responsibility that requires attention and preparation. From confirming the pregnancy to post-birth care, you must provide the appropriate environment and attention to ensure the puppies and the mother are healthy. A dog’s gestation usually lasts about 65 days depending on the breed and the individual animal.

Here are some tips:

• Feeding and nutrition: The diet of a pregnant dog should be the usual one, making sure she receives the necessary nutrients. During the stage when she may feel like vomiting, she should eat small portions repeatedly throughout the day. From the fifth week onwards, the food amount should be increased weekly. It is also very important that she always has water available.

• Exercise: As part of care, daily walks will help her avoid being overweight and maintain her health. As the weeks go by, reduce the walks to make them a bit shorter, as she may feel uncomfortable.

• Quiet environment: Prepare a quiet and comfortable place where she can rest and give birth. Avoid drastic changes in her environment.

• Veterinary visits: Consult the veterinarian regularly to ensure everything is going well as it should. Report any unusual changes. Make sure her vaccinations are up to date before birth so her antibodies are at their maximum.

To be sure your dog receives the essential minerals and vitamins during gestation, we recommend HOMEMADEKUN, a supplement that covers your dog’s nutritional needs.

SUPERBROWNKUN is also a very useful supplement, as it provides apple pulp and brewer’s yeast, rich in B vitamins. Pregnant and lactating females have increased needs, and vitamin B promotes recovery and vitality.
