The right food for lactating dogs will support gestation and production of quality milk required for puppies' healthy development. IAMS™ Mother and Baby Dog Food – our scientific dietary formula does exactly that for pregnant and lactating dogs. In fact, it also boosts the immune response of mama dogs during stressful situations like pregnancy and lactation.
IAMS™ Proactive Health™ Mother and Baby Dog Food is made using chicken as the main ingredient. This puppy food focuses on providing pregnant and lactating dogs as well as puppies with sufficient nutrients in small feedings.
The best food for your 1-month-old puppy would be its mother’s milk. Ensure that you take good care of the pregnant and lactating mama dog, so she can produce good-quality milk for her little puppies.
It’s important to change diets gradually. Switching diets too quiickly can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or excess gas. Any time you decide to change your dog’s deits, you should transition to the new diet gradually in order to give your dog’s system time to adjust to the change. Ideally, these transaction should happen over 7-10 days. **This is just a guideline, and you can increase transition time if your pet is particularly sensitive.
