I would start feeding her a good multi vitamin, and a high quality dog food. Wellness or Nutra Max.
Pet smart sells a vitamin that comes in a tube like toothpaste, I had very good experiences with it.
Once she gets closer to delivery feed her several small meals a day since the puppies will put pressure on the stomach. I was feeding my dog up to 4 - 6 times a day.
Same when she is nursing the pups. Feed her as much as she wants
You want ther to be in the best possible condition, because once the puppies nurse, they will nurse the nutrition right out of her.
Congratulations !! and good luck

Puppy food is the best for her. Feed her the same amount you do now. You don't want her to gain too much weight. Feed puppy food until she is finsihed nursing.
Please do some research on pregency in dogs before the big day comes. There is alot you need to be prepared for. Don't wait til the last minute.
Good luck
