My pregnant dog won't eat much. How can I get her appetite back up?

Question

I have two Pembroke Corgis who ate at day 45 and day 40 of their pregnancies. I’m having a terrible time getting them to eat. Their formerly fierce appetite is greatly diminished no matter what food I offer (pouring chicken broth over their food, offering hard boiled eggs or chicken breast.) I know this is somewhat normal but is there anything else I can do to get their appetite back up? Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 6 months old | 26 lbs

You can try to warm up the food so it gets more aromatic. Apart from that, offer food and take away whatever is not eaten within 10 minutes. Eventually they just might get hungry enough to eat. Also start feeding more nutritious puppy food now. They do not have to eat as much of that to get the same amount of nutrition and puppy food is also very tasty.
