After the first month of pregnancy, pregnant dogs have an increased caloric need, and I recommend that they start eating puppy food since it has more calories per bite and more healthy fats. Here is a good article on birthing puppies with a section on pre-natal care of dogs: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=678
