Feed your preg dog puppy food of a good quality. Preg and lactating dogs need puppy food as its higher in calories (energy) and they need this to feed pups in vetro and to develope milk.
She doesn't need added calcium or milk products if you choose a well balanced diet such as Eukanuba or Hills puppy foods.
Ring you vet and ask them to work out how much she needs for her weight and breed.
Good luck with the impending births!

For the first few days, feed her her normal food, then SLOWLY add a high quality puppy food and cut back her normal food. Continue this until she is eating only the puppy food. Remember a pregnant dog will require one and a half to two times her normal food intake. This may also need to be increased after the pups are born to maintain a good body weight of the mother. Just remember to increase the amounts slowly. Changing the amount of or type of food quickly can cause upset stomach and diarrhea.

Why do you have a pregnant dog and not know already how to feed it?
I do not know enough about breeding b*tches yet but I have heard a high quality puppy food is recommended. How about asking your vet for starters?

She needs to be on a good quality puppy food. It provides her with all the needed vitamins and minerals she and the puppies need. You can also feed her some yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, etc.

You should feed her dry puppy food during her pregnancy and through her lactation (nursing the puppies). Then gradually begin feeding her adult food again. This adds extra calories, protien, and calcium she will need.
