What to feed my pregnant dog, and is jumping safe during pregnancy?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 39 lbs

When will I increase my possible pregnant dog's meal? She's eating a half kilo of raw chicken meat mixed with veggies. Moreover, when will I start to introduce vitamins for pregnant dogs? Lastly, is it not okay that my dog jumps everytime I'm about to feed her?(Miscarriage issues) Her first stud session was June 22, 2018 and her last was June 26, 2018. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I recommend starting pregnant mothers on puppy food. Commercial puppy food will provide all the nutrients, vitamins and appropriate calories she needs. I do not recommend raw or home cooked diets as they are deficient in the appropriate nutrients unless balanced by a nutritionist. You can pay for websites like Balance It to create diets, see link below. Now is fine for puppy food or if you continue your plan now for the vitamins It is fine that she jumps it shouldn't cause miscarriages. https://secure.balanceit.com/ Good luck!
