Any Q

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 do when my dog is pregnant for the first time?

The very first thing to do once when you expect that your dog is pregnant for the first time is to visit a veterinarian. An early visit is a must because dog pregnancies last for about 9 weeks, giving you little time to act and care for her.

How much does it cost to see if your dog is pregnant?

For breeders who use AI, it's very helpful to know if a litter is expected. For pet owners whose girls are accidently bred, it may be useful to know if she will be having puppies. The test kit costs about $100 and includes 5 pregnancy tests.

What does a vet do for a pregnant dog?

Your veterinarian can help you verify the pregnancy, determine the due date, discuss any medication changes, and even estimate the number of expected puppies. Your veterinarian can also help you determine if your dog is having a false pregnancy, a condition in which she looks and acts pregnant when she's not.

How long after mating should I take my dog to the vet?

It is highly recommended that during the 35 days post mating, dog owners take their pooch to the vet for a blood test to determine if your pooch will be a mummy! Around 45 to 60 days post-breeding, your veterinarian may choose to perform an ultrasound or take an x-ray.
