Welcome!
Hello, Ehuong, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 02:27, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

It would be much easier to expand the canine reproduction article, and possibly add a section to the dog food article than it would be to create an article specifically about "gestation and lactation diets for dogs". To be honest, I think that's too narrow for a stand-alone article, though in the end, it depends on whether you can find enough content to write that article. Bear in mind that any article you create needs to meet Wikipedia's notability standards, needs to be based on high-quality reliable sources, and it needs to document what's out there in the literature - it can't give advice or draw novel conclusions.

 * Where do you intend to add this? To the canine reproduction article as I mentioned before? Please let me know. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:49, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Remember that section headers shouldn't be capitalized. Remember that you need to update the lead section to reflect the changes you made to the article. And don't forget that the overall article needs to remain balanced.

You need to be careful about tone. Wikipedia articles don't give advice - they describe what reliable sources say about a topic.

You need to simply describe the most important elements. That's all.
 * "When considering..." - you're speaking to your reader here, not describing facts
 * "...it is important..." - this in an opinion

You shouldn't be talking about the details of a research study. You can write about what secondary sources (review articles) and tertiary sources (textbooks) say about the findings of research studies. At the same time, you should be specific. What does "low, medium, or high amounts" mean? Does it mean that any amount of DHA has the same effect? Or does it mean that it has no effect?

Make sure that the information you're adding is specific to the topic. Take, for example, the section on gastrointestinal health

Nothing in there appears to be specific to canine reproduction. If it's true for all dogs, it doesn't belong on this page. Add this to another page (diet? dog food?) and link to it from here. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:33, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
