Yes, cooked lotus root is a safe and healthy snack for a pregnant dog. It's low in calories and provides some fiber, but always serve it plain, without any added oils, salt, or seasonings. Just make sure it's cooked until soft and cut into small, manageable pieces to prevent any choking risk. Offer it in moderation alongside her regular balanced diet, and as with any new food, watch for any signs of an upset stomach.
