If your German Shepherd is expecting, it's crucial to provide her with the best care throughout her pregnancy. Let me share some general guidelines to help you manage this important time:

First, focus on her nutrition. It's essential to ensure she's on a high-quality diet that's appropriate for pregnant dogs. You might need to switch her to a puppy formula or a diet specifically designed for pregnant and nursing dogs to ensure she receives all the necessary nutrients.

Next, keep up with regular, moderate exercise to maintain her fitness. However, be cautious to avoid any strenuous activities, particularly as her pregnancy progresses.

Regular veterinary check-ups are also important. Schedule these visits to monitor her health and the development of her puppies. Your veterinarian can confirm the pregnancy and offer valuable guidance on how to care for her.

Additionally, create a comfortable and quiet space where she can rest, especially as her due date approaches. This area will also serve as a whelping space when the time comes.

Lastly, as she nears her due date, keep an eye out for signs of labor. These can include nesting behavior, restlessness, or a drop in body temperature.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
