usually she will produce enough milk if being fed properly. depending on the size of your dog and the size of the litter you need to feed extra and it's helpful to supplement with cottage cheese and offer all the water she will drink. If the litter is larger than 6 pups it can be helpful to offer supplemental feedings to the puppies by buying Esbilac at your local Petco, Petsmart etc...and following the feeding instructions. A mother dog can also stop milk production if she gets eclampsia which is a life threatening condition to her as well as her pups....If her nipples are hard, hot, or your not sure if they are normal or not I would contact your vet.
