Cute puppy

Optimal nutrition for reproduction is important for:

Conception/successful pregnancy
Optimizing the number of puppies per litter
Providing the mother (bitch) with her best ability to deliver her puppies
Thriving puppies both before and after birth
The various stages of reproduction - heat (estrus), pregnancy, lactation and weaning - provide unique stresses to the body. Each provides specific nutritional concerns that should be addressed to maximize the health of both mother and puppy
