Our Dalmatian was in whelp with her puppies, we gave her this to keep in in tip top condition and also for her to pass the goodness on to her unborn litter, you could see the difference in her general health and well being, this helped her to maintain herself to a good standard, also when the pups were born, all nine of them were super chunky, super healthy and had no problems what so ever. we continued to feed her this as a supplement, now, at three weeks, we have introduced this to the pups as a way of getting them to lap from bowls and removing themselves from the mother, mixed at 50g of powder to 200g of boiled water, the pups have thrived, they are huge, healthy and very alert, their stools/wee are as it should be, and I would NOT hesitate to recommend this to anyone who is either rearing pups, general well being of mother before and after whelp, also or the aged dog/bitch. five stars.
