Hello. Just keep Minney on her regular dog food. No supplements are required or necessary. Yes, this breed is prone to needing C-sections, but this is due to their confirmation, not a nutritional problem. If you can start to set aside some money now in case she needs to have the surgery, then you will be more in control of the situation. If she has a normal birth, then use the money to spay her so you do not have to worry in the future. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
