Has your dog been to the vet yet? Have you asked your vet about the whelping process?

Do you currently feed your dog a well balanced diet? If so, there is nothing "extra" that you need to do. Do not overfeed, and do not supplement her food if her current diet is balanced.

I ask this question in concern for your dog. The whelping process is not always easy. So my reason to bring this up is to ask for you to start preparing for it if you haven't already done so. Your dog could be in grave danger if you don't prepare for it. Again, it's a concern for your dog why I bring this up.

Based on your original question, I can only assume you are not a professional breeder. Therefore, it would be wise for you to find yourself a mentor, someone who is willing and knowledgeable on the whelping process. Was this pregnancy an accident? Was it planned? Were all the necessary health and genetic tests done?
