A good quality puppy food is going to be the best source of nutrition for Lucy during this stage of her life. It is important that she take in adequate amounts of energy, calcium and other vitamins and minerals. You can continue feeding her the puppy food until the puppies are weaned, as it takes a lot of energy and nutrients to lactate and nurse the puppies properly.
