"Raw Feeding Dogs During Pregnancy, Whelping and Lactation"
Book 1 of the Foundations of Natural Rearing Series
Your dam's body already knows how to grow a healthy litter. This book gives you the knowledge to support her every step of the way, from the weeks before breeding through pregnancy, whelping, and lactation, using real, whole-food nutrition instead of guesswork.
Written from fifty years of hands-on breeding experience and grounded in current veterinary research, Feeding For Breeding walks you through exactly what your dam needs and when, from prebreeding conditioning and the critical implantation window, through each trimester's shifting nutritional demands, to labor, eclampsia prevention, and the surge of nutritional need that comes with nursing a litter.
Inside, you'll find:
- Trimester-by-trimester feeding guidance, including exactly when and why calcium needs change as whelping approaches
- A complete safety reference for herbs, essential oils, and supplements to avoid during pregnancy, fully researched and cited
- Real, current research on how early-life feeding shapes your puppies' lifelong risk of allergies, skin conditions, and digestive disease
- Practical protocols for eclampsia recognition and prevention, labor-day feeding, and building milk supply naturally
- A clear-eyed comparison of Prey Model Raw, BARF, and Frankenprey feeding, so you can choose the approach that fits your dam and your life
- A vetted, tiered directory of trusted raw food suppliers and natural product companies, so you're never guessing where to shop
Whether you're feeding raw for the first time or you've been at this for years, this book fills the gaps that generic feeding charts leave behind, gaps that matter most during the exact window when your dam and her puppies need it most.
