I would be very careful about changing the diet of a pregnant dog and would only do it under a vet's supervision. There are balances required in their food, especially between calcium and phosphorus, that are crucial to their health and it could be especially dangerous to not get it right for a pregnant dog.

My suggestion would be to feed a top quality dog food and do your research for homemade meals for after the puppies come.

I would also like to mention that there are many people posting recipes on the internet for homemade food that seem completely clueless as to what a dog needs, so be careful of your sources for recipes when you do switch over.

Exactly. That is why I was posting to see if anyone had any experiance with homemade foods. I dont want to do it wrong.

Yes, but no one here that I know of is an expert in animal nutrition, so we aren't qualified to help you. I feed homemade food and have done a lot of research, but I wouldn't risk someone's pregnant dog's health with my advice. I carefully monitor my own dogs' health for signs that something is not right and add calcium and other supplements to their food and still I worry whether I'm missing something.

It's not that simple to just have someone tell you their recipe and that's that. A lot of people post recipes on the internet that they feed to their dogs, but if you research it, you will realize they are leaving out crucial elements. During pregnancy, a dog's needs are even more complicated, so it's an especially bad time to take stranger's advice.

There are books out about homemade diets, such as those by Dr. Pitcairn, but for a pregnant dog I would certainly ask your vet first or wait until the puppies are born and weaned.
