ingredients.
each capsule contains wheat germ oil extracts 288mg and vegetable oil 12mg,
in a gelatine capsule. Each 440mg capsule contains at least 7.5mg of natural vitamin E.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,thanks in advance best wishes M.
Uh no.. problem- it makes gas, and a pregnant bitch already has slow digestion. If you give a supplement- you use red raspberry capsules ( one capsule dumped in food twice a day for a 60 pound dog or higher) and vitamin C at 100 mg for the same weight dog. Red raspberry helps the hormones cope with the changes, and vitamin C helps hydrate the bitch and pups.
Also I use to break up the feedings into 3 meals at half way mark. They need more food when pregnant- but too much food at one time is not helping her. I add 1/2 the normal diet to a mid day feeding. Chicken livers ( raw) is great for protein, and of course- cottage cheese. Also the multi vitamins should be given at night as the water soluable vitamins leave the system in urination- I use missing link.. Hope this helps- if you need more help- PLEASE FEEL FREE to pm me-
