Prenatal Vitamins

I've never given my dogs prenatal vitamins before, but I've decided to try it this time. It's not that I simply chose not to give them any, the thought just never really crossed my mind. However, a couple of days ago I was looking through one of my pet supply magazines and saw them. They are called Bitch Pills (I know funny name, but it is a female dog so it makes sense). Fedex is sceduled to drop them off on Tuesday, so we shall see if they make a difference :) Here is a break down of a couple of the ingredients and why they are beneficial:
