Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / When to introduce puppy food.

Hi, Im sure my bitch is now expecting, and would like to be reminded on when should i introduce the puppy food to her diet again, i know i done it last year when i bred her then. I know that at 42day after mating i need to worm her every day. Im getting Honey scanned on Friday, so will know for definate. She is putting on the weight now, and showing signs of pregnancy. Her teats are growing big now, but we will see on friday. So if any one could give me some hints again i would be grateful.
At the moment she is eating "Beta" dry adult food and "Jameswelbeloved" wet pouches and she is eating every thing we put down, as i said she has put on 1kg in weight in a week, and her teats are big, there was a time she was sick a couple of weeks ago, and thought then she was pregnant. so any words of advice would be very welcoming. Thank you!

I start the puppy food/reproductive starter at 42 days the same time as the daily Panacur wormer, they have less room for food so don't need to eat as much to get the calories.

Quite a weight gain in a week so should imagine she is pregnant.

Hey thank you for your advice. I thought it was some where near the 42 days as with the wormer but wanted to ask any way.

Yes it is alot of weight, but im hoping she is pregnant, which is why she has put on the weight. Fingers crossed for Friday.

Many thanks for your advice i will make sure i put it down for future referance.
