Females during pregnancy and lactation are fed fractionally and often - 5-6 times a day. The energy requirement for nursing mothers is higher. Such a dietary regimen for the mother is observed one and a half to two months after the birth of puppies. During this period, proteins occupy a special place - building materials for the correct formation and growth of babies. If a large litter of puppies is expected, feed the expectant mother in small portions. This will prevent excessive stretching of the abdomen.
