Like us humans, female dogs may experience similar surges in hormones, weight, appetite, and behavior when pregnant.
Dogs are typically pregnant for 62 days, plus or minus two days, usually divided into three trimesters. Here are a few signs of a pregnant dog.
A healthy female dog will gain about 15-20% beyond her weight at breeding.
The abdomen usually swells 20-50%.
Vaginal discharge approximately one month into the pregnancy.
Increase in appetite.
Increase in nipple size.
Swollen belly.
Tires more easily.
Nesting behavior.
More affectionate.
Irritability.
Many dogs can be discrete about their mating; hence you should take your dog for an ultrasound to confirm whether she is pregnant.
As a responsible dog owner, ensuring the well-being of your pregnant canine companion is crucial during this special time. Caring for a pregnant mother dog involves providing proper nutrition, creating a comfortable environment, and monitoring her health closely.
