Pregnant Dogs

Do you need to monitor a dog’s pregnancy? How?

Yes, monitoring a dog’s pregnancy is crucial to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and her puppies. Continuous monitoring can help detect early signs of complications, allowing for timely interventions.

How long should a dog be pregnant?

The average gestation period for a dog is about 63 days, but it can range from 58 to 68 days. Monitoring the dog’s health and behavior closely during this time ensures a healthy pregnancy and timely delivery.

What are the stages of a female dog being pregnant? How do you monitor/track them?

A dog’s pregnancy can be divided into three main stages:

  1. Early Stage (Days 0-20): During this period, the fertilized eggs implant in the uterus. Collecting baseline health data and setting biometric baselines for the mother can be done using tools like PetPace.
  2. Mid Stage (Days 21-45): The embryos develop into fetuses, and physical changes in the mother become more noticeable. Continuous monitoring of the mother’s vitals and other health indicators ensures they meet critical health milestones.
  3. Late Stage (Days 46-63): The mother prepares for whelping. Tools like PetPace provide timely whelping alerts, predicting when labor will begin, from 10 days up until 12 hours before birth. This ensures the owner is prepared to support the mother during delivery.

Why is monitoring dog pregnancy important?

Monitoring a dog’s pregnancy helps in early detection of potential issues, ensuring timely interventions and providing peace of mind. It ensures the best care for the pregnant dog and her puppies, making sure that any complications are addressed promptly.

Regular monitoring during all these stages helps in early detection of potential issues, ensuring the best care for the pregnant dog and her puppies. Discover PetPace’s dog pregnancy solution here.
