There is not much care that is specifically needed for prenatal care in dogs. Most regular daytime vets can take care of Nani while she is baking her puppies. The most common vet care that happens pre-puppy birthing is x-rays or ultrasound to count the number of puppies, these can done my most General Practice veterinarians. If you are instead looking for a vet to help your dog become pregnant, you will need to look for vets that provide reproductive services. A quick google search doesn't tell me who provides these services. We don't have a national listing for vet specialists, so you may have to call a few vets and ask specifically for reproductive specialists, or who they would refer these services to.
