Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / diet for bitch
- By shannonleigh [gb] Date 04.05.05 08:58 UTC
I am due to mate my bitch when she next comes into season and wondered if you could give me some good diet tips.
I have done everything right so far with the health checks and good stud dog but need to know whats best to feed her on. At the moment she eats Butchers dog food ( only one she will eat ) is there anything else i should be giving her?????

Why dont you get some good books on nutrition or even do the barf diet which is a back to natures diet, all raw food to be fed mince, chicken, hearts, salmon, with this diet you try to get a balance of nutrients over week.  It also includes feeding blended fruit and veg but is cheaper and healthier than feeding commercial foods. There is books on the amazon website.  I dont think one can of butchers will be enough for growing puppies, it would be a good idea if you spilt her one meal into two, feeding her in the morning and late at night, this way you wont overload her stomach, also do you know to increase her food at five weeks pregancy.

Good luck with your dog.

HI, what breed is she? Did you mean she will only eat Butchers Meat or is it a complete food? If you dont want to feed a raw diet and she is a bit fussy then try Arden Grange complete food - even my fussiest dogs will eat this happily.
