Post Whelp Support

The Ultimate Post Whelp Support: Nourishment for Mum While She Nurtures Her Litter

Whelping is only the beginning. In the weeks that follow, a dam’s body is working incredibly hard to recover from pregnancy and birth while meeting the nutritional demands of feeding her puppies.

At Herbs for Hounds, we developed Canine Post Whelp Support specifically for this demanding stage. This gentle, wholefood blend is designed to complement a complete diet during lactation, providing targeted nutritional, digestive, body and coat support throughout the 8-week nursing period.

One Course. Eight Weeks of Support.

Post Whelp Support is designed as a complete 8-week nutritional support program, taking Mum from whelping right through the nursing period to weaning.

Simply choose the size that matches your dam’s weight and you’ll receive the amount required for her full 8-week course.

The Power of Wholefood Nutrition

Every serve delivers a carefully balanced combination of nutrient-rich wholefoods selected to support Mum while she raises her litter:

Hemp Seed Powder: Provides plant protein and naturally occurring fats to support body condition, skin and coat during a nutritionally demanding period.

Pumpkin Seed Meal: A nutrient-dense source of plant protein and beneficial fats, helping provide additional nutritional support throughout lactation.

Brewer’s Yeast: Naturally provides protein and B-group nutrients, supporting everyday nutrition and palatability.

Rosehip Powder: A naturally antioxidant-rich wholefood ingredient providing beneficial plant phytonutrients.

Green Banana Flour: A natural source of resistant starch that acts as a prebiotic, helping nourish beneficial gut bacteria and support digestive balance.

The Gentle Wholefood Foundation:

Oat Flour: Provides a gentle, palatable wholefood base that blends easily into Mum’s normal meals while contributing additional energy and nutrition.

Unlike a general-purpose supplement, Post Whelp Support has been deliberately formulated with the nursing dam in mind. We haven't loaded it with unnecessary herbs or high levels of supplemental minerals.

Why "Herbs for Hounds" is Different:

Created for the Lactation Period: Specifically designed to support the unique nutritional demands placed on Mum after whelping and while nursing.

Nourishment Without Overcomplication: A simple combination of carefully selected wholefood ingredients rather than an extensive herbal blend.

Body & Coat Support: Provides additional protein, fats and wholefood nutrition during a period when maintaining condition can be challenging.

Digestive Support: Green banana flour provides gentle prebiotic support for the gut microbiome.

No Added Calcium: Designed to complement a complete and balanced food appropriate for lactation rather than unnecessarily altering its mineral balance.

Clean & Transparent: No artificial colours, flavours or unnecessary additives.

When to Use:

• Following whelping
• Throughout the nursing period
• During periods of increased nutritional demand
• To support body and coat condition during lactation
• To provide additional wholefood nutritional and digestive support while raising a litter

How to Use:

Sprinkle the recommended amount over Mum’s daily meal. It can be mixed with raw, wet or kibble diets.

Begin at half the recommended daily amount for the first 2–3 days after whelping, then gradually increase to the full daily serve if digestion and stools remain normal.

Post Whelp Support is designed as an 8-week nutritional support program, taking Mum from whelping through to approximately the time her puppies are fully weaned.

It is intended to complement an appropriate complete diet during lactation and should not replace the additional food and energy a nursing dam requires.

Because while Mum is giving everything to her puppies, she deserves nutritional support of her own
