Is puppy food suitable for my pregnant Shih Tzu's nutritional needs?

Question

Hi sir is it okie to feed pedigree puppy dog food for my pregnant shitzu? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 3 years and 9 months old

Yes, you should feed a pregnant and lactating mother a puppy food as this has more calories for the extra demand of nutrition that she will need while pregnant and nursing. Once her puppies are weaned she can go back on to her regular adult maintenance diet. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
