Yup, Annie is right, there's just too much good quality protein in cat food for a dog's kidneys. But it won't hurt for a few weeks while she's rearing. (And the thing about cats and dog food is, I guess, that there's not enough good quality protein in the dog food to keep a cat healthy.)

A collie on the next door farm had a litter of 13 last year but I think that is very unusual for collies.

If your girl is struggling with making enough milk for all those hungry mouths, maybe post a question in the Dogs section? There're a lot of very experienced people on here but maybe some of them are not reading this thread.

Thank you to everyone for getting in touch. I've broken out the paper and crayons so I can keep note of all those that are interested. I'll try and get the photo's up asap.
Pups doing well, still look like guinea pigs though (squeak like them too).

My bitch had pups recently - although not such a large litter - I fed dried puppy food as that has higher energy / nutrients. Also Butchers tinned food is good - high quality and not too exoensive. Mine also liked raw i.e. chicken/rabbits/mince/tripe. I would feed her ad lib. Goats milk is good too.
