Was just wondering if the bitches appetite has any corelation to the size of the litter they are carrying? My female cant seem to eat enough, she is the best girl and twice now i have caught her counter surfing crumbs off the counter and she has attempted right in front of my face getting up on the counter quite a few times. She wants to eat ALLLLLLLL the time, OMG her begging has gotten so bad we have to sneak around the kitchen trying not to rattle bags or open the fridge to loud, she gets fed breakfast , lunch and diner with numerous snacks of raw meat, cookies, what ever we are eating. But she never seems full, and chew on raw bones like its the last bone on earth. This started just after her 4th week, she went about a week with not wanting her food and then boom she is ravenous and is seeking food every moment she is awake. She is 2.5 weeks from 63 days.
I have had her on probiotics for the past few months and now i have her on some new stuff for the past month and she seems to have a nicer coat and have switched her onto a new food with NO POTATO in it and she likes it and did not get the runs at all from it.
this is the supplement http://www.wellytails-store.com/Digestion-Immunity-Dog-Rx-Supplement-345-grams_p_13.html
the food i switched her to is made by the same company that makes the supplements http://www.holisticblend.com/en/food-formulas/dog-formulas/holistic-blend/lamb-and-rice/
being in a remote town in the mountains the feed stores around here dont bring in alot of different brands , and the prices are outrageous to say the least, earthborn coastal catch $85 for 30lbs plus tax, smart family gets it for $40 were she lives, crazy eh? This stuff isnt much better at $68 for 30lbs, i have been buying the 10lb bag for $22 and mixing it with the pedigree just to make sure she is not going to get the runs lol. I know she is getting enough calories with everything she has been eating but she makes me feel like im not feeding her enough just by her quest for food.
So how much did you feed your bitch during pregnancy, i have had about 8 litters of pups under my belt over the course of my life so not a newbie but i dont recall my other females ever being this ravenous lol
