Toy poodles usually weigh no more than 6-9 pounds and should be fed a consistent amount of food daily to maintain a healthy weight.
A pregnant toy poodle’s nutritional requirements will increase as the pregnancy progresses. To ensure that your dog is getting the nutrients she needs, you should increase her daily food intake by about 25-50% starting around the fourth week of pregnancy.
Feed Smaller, More Frequent Meals
Split her daily food into two or three smaller meals, so that she has a chance to digest her food properly and doesn't become overly full and uncomfortable.
Offer high-quality, nutrient-rich food specifically formulated for pregnant dogs, these formulas are usually higher in calories, protein and essential vitamins.
Consult with Your Veterinarian
It is important to consult with your veterinarian to determine the exact amount of food you should be feeding your pregnant toy poodle, as her individual needs may vary based on her age, size, and activity level.
Monitor Your Dog's Weight
Regularly monitor your pregnant toy poodle's weight to ensure she is gaining weight at a healthy rate. Gradual weight gain throughout pregnancy is important for the development of the puppies.
Other Considerations
Make sure your pregnant toy poodle has access to plenty of fresh, clean water at all times.
Avoid feeding her table scraps or other human food, as these may not be nutritionally appropriate for a pregnant dog.
If you have any concerns about your pregnant toy poodle's diet or health, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian.
