What are the signs that a dog is pregnant?

1. Become disliked by people approaching

In fact, dogs like to be close to humans. If your dog suddenly becomes very sensitive and does not like any approach, even the pet owner, it is likely to be pregnant. Because the dog will become very sensitive and emotionally unstable after pregnancy, for fear that someone will hurt its child.

2. Become fond of sleeping

Dogs are full of energy every day, but if your dog suddenly doesn't like to move and likes to lie down and nap at home every day, it may be because of pregnancy. And when sleeping, I will no longer lie on my stomach, but choose to sleep on my side or on my back. The owner can't let it be inactive all the time, because proper exercise can prevent the dog from dystocia. The owner should take it to a place where there are few people and dogs outside to bask in the sun and take a walk.

3. Nipples turn red

Redness in your dog's nipples can be said to be the earliest sign that your dog is pregnant. When the dog is 2-3 weeks pregnant, the dog's nipples will become pinker, more swollen, and more prominent than before. At this time, pet owners should not think that this is inflammation of the dog's nipples. .

4. Loss of appetite, vomiting, etc.

After the dog is mated, within 3-4 weeks, if the dog suffers from loss of appetite, vomiting, and lack of energy, it means that the dog is pregnant. At this time, the pet owner should not think that it is sick.

5. Be careful

The female dog will become very cautious, walking less briskly than before, and the change is most obvious for dogs that are usually active. When sleeping, I usually choose to sleep on my side or on my back.

6. Belly protruding and wriggling

One month after the dog is pregnant, the belly will protrude obviously, the appetite will increase, and there will even be fetal movement. The owner should not mistakenly think that it is infected with parasites and feed the medicine indiscriminately.

7. Nesting behavior

Because the dog mother itself can perceive when it is time to give birth, it may try to tear up some things to build a nest and give the dog a comfortable environment to grow.
