What dog food is best for my nursing dog: puppy chow or high protein?

Question

puppy chow or high protein dog food for nursing momma dog which it better. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 7 months old | 60 lbs

Kevin Sanada, DVM · Accepted Answer

The term high-protein is a little vague, so puppy chow would probably be better for a lactating mom. You can always check the back of the bag and see if it's formulated for lactation. This would be found under the garaunteed analysis. The biggest requirements for a lactating dog is energy and calcium, so I wouldn't be overly concerned with protein content. I hope that helps and all is well with Harley.
