What should a dog eat when pregnant?

Dogs need to supplement calcium during pregnancy. This is because pregnancy will cause serious calcium loss. It is best to feed on dog food and provide high-quality protein. When your dog is about to give birth, she will start having labor pains and need to drink a lot of water. When a dog gives birth to a baby, you can give it an injection of oxytocin to help the uterus contract, making the birth go more smoothly.
