Feed a high quality puppy food the last three weeks of the pregnancy. NOT PUPPY CHOW!!! It has a ton of corn and she will poop more and need to eat more and they start eating LESS near the end, so do not fill her up on corn!!!!!! AT LEAST feed Iams puppy. If you can afford better, go to the feed store or a PetSmart and get better. If you feed her high quality food, she doesn't need vitamins. You need to be careful about vitamins in pregnant dogs. Some have too much calicum and that can elevate the calicum level in the dogs blood and lead to problems in delivering the puppies. Pugs are prone to birthing problems as it is, you do not want to add to them. You can give her some scraps of good meat, or veggies...but make sure she is eating the puppy food as the base of her diet. After birth, you can give her a vitamin supplement, you can get Pet -Tabs from most pet supply stores.
Good Luck!!

DON'T GIVE HER HUMAN ONES! It could kill her! Go to the Vet, there is food for pregnant and nursing dogs.
