Hello. There is no need to change her food initially. Just feed the best food you can afford. The last few weeks before the puppies are born, switch her to a good puppy food as this will give her more calories she will need until the puppies are weaned & eating on their own. You can have your veterinarian ultrasound her abdomen or take an x-ray to confirm pregnancy & her hip dysplasia will not hurt her pregnancy, although this condition can be inherited by her puppies. So, consider spaying her once she is done with this pregnancy. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
