This product has not been tested for safety in pregnant dogs. That said, a quick search of individual ingredients reveals that licorice root and nettle root should not be given to pregnant dogs and echinacea should be used with caution in pregnant/nursing dogs. Since these are in the ingredient list and to be safe, you should not give this product to Vienna until she has whelped and the litter has been weaned.
