What special care, diet, or supplements does a stud dog need?

Vitamins B6, B12 and Folate are critical to male reproductive health. Vitamin D may aid in sperm motility and antioxidants and fatty acids may also be of benefit. Since vitamins are not regulated by the FDA, you must be sure to use only products from trusted sources. Discuss your concerns with your veterinarian. he or she may have specific products or suppliers that may fulfill your needs.

You can feed him his normal diet. Nothing special is needed before the mating process. Also you don't want to drastically switch any pets food or that can cause an acute stomach upset (vomiting and diarrhea). Best wishes!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kaya. If she is eating a well balanced quality diet, there is no reason to add a daily vitamin. The diet is designed to meet all of her nutritional needs. Look for a diet that is certified by AAFCO. This means that the food has been tested and is appropriate for her needs. While pregnant and then lactating, she should eat puppy food for the extra calories, fat and protein content. I hope this information helps!

A dog that is fed a well balanced complete diet for the size of his breed, will not need any supplements at all. If you add supplements you will upset the balance of the diet. Unless your dog is lacking certain minerals or vitamins (proven by a blood test) I do not recommend you feed a supplement. Keep feeding a good diet and all should be well.

Pregnant bitches should be fed a high quality, complete food and should be fed the puppy stage from 6-7weeks plus to ensure a higher calorie intake. They should not need extra supplementation and be sure not to over supply calcium as this can predispose to eclampsia during birth or nursing

Growth supplements are not needed as long as you feed Toby a high quality food. i think you can find Orijen dry food in some places in India, which is an excellent quality food, if you can't - Royal Canin is also a good option.

This is a very good question! It is always wise to be proactive about our pet's health. If you ever have concerns about how your dog is doing then a call and visit to your vet can help to set your mind at ease. Things to watch for that would indicate health problems include vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite and energy level, unusual behaviors and limping. Discuss food recommendations with your regular veterinarian. Brands such as Purina, Hills and Royal Canin all have veterinarians on-staff to ensure their food is top quality and nutritionally balanced. If you are feeding a good balanced diet then supplements of vitamins and minerals are not necessary.
