Pregnant Bitches

So I've started feeding Beef Stew a raw diet. meaning no kibble, mostly just raw meat and raw fish and some vegis. Its much healthier for your dog then kibble and beef LOVES it, but thats not what this blog is about. While doing some research on the internet I came across a site with FAQ's on how to feed your pet a raw diet when a came across this totally awesome question...

Can I feed my pregnant bitch on raw food?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

and the totally awesome answer...

This is the best thing you can do for your bitch.

I have actually changed the diet of a bitch I obtained, who was pregnant, to raw food when she was pregnant. I was certainly not worried about any cross over issues. For her, the potential damage of commercial foods to her and her puppies was my main concern. I couldn't get her onto a raw food diet quickly enough!

Mind you, she did eat one heck of a lot! So for pregnant and nursing bitches you will find that they need more food to cope with the demands of the little guys! And sometimes, a pregnant bitch will not want to eat a lot. You let your bitch be the judge. She knows her needs.

Most bitches know their needs. But they aren't met...hence the name!

I cannot get over the use of the term bitch in reference to female dogs! Hasn't society officially claimed that one for...other purposes/meanings? Is it really so hard to say, "your female will really like a raw foods diet?" I especially loved the use of bitch in the book "How to be your dog's best friend" written by a bunch of MONKS in upstate New York. I snickered EVERY TIME they used that word (needless to say, I had a fab six pack by the time I finished it.)Love it!
