Do I need to do anything special for my pregnant dog?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

As with all pregnant mothers, a pregnancy in dogs means calm, non-strenuous exercise. Regular short walks and light play time as well as attention are all good exercises for pregnant dogs. Do not over-stimulate the pregnant dog, but also don't let her become lethargic. 15 нояб. 2017 г.


Do I need to do anything if my dog is pregnant?

If you think your dog is pregnant, take them to your vet. It's a good idea to take them for a prenatal checkup 2 or 3 weeks after they have mated. Your vet can answer any questions you may have, such as the type of food pregnant dogs should eat and what changes you should expect.

What should I give my pregnant dog?

It is recommended to feed your pregnant dog a high-quality diet that has adequate levels of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Premium adult dog food made by Hills or Royal Canin, as an example are ideal. There is no need to supplement these diets.

How can I take care of my pregnant dog at home?

Try for three to five short walks a day, and always keep temperature and terrain in mind (i.e. no uphill hikes on a hot day). Avoid any rigorous activity, or even training/obedience schooling during your dog's pregnancy; this can be stressful, and bumps or knocks from other dogs could hurt her unborn pups.
