A simple method to follow when balancing for your lactating bitch:

1. balance amino acids,
2. balance fatty acids,
3. balance minerals and vitamins
4. remaining calorie target is as close to zero as possible (-30 to +30 kcal)

Don’t forget to choose ingredients that are palatable to your lactating dog. Remember that meat grinds (ground food) are good for mixing supplement powders, pureed veggies, etc.
