Alaska Gives Birth to Puppies after Being Pregnant for Several Months

An Alaskan dog generally gets pregnant for two months and gives birth to puppies. The specific time may vary among individuals. The average pregnancy period for Alaskan dogs is usually around 62-64 days, but some Alaskan dogs may give birth earlier, as early as 58 days after pregnancy. Prior to giving birth, the dog may become restless and continuously scratch the floor with its paws, indicating that the mother is about to deliver.

Precautions for Alaskan dog pregnancy:

1. Pay attention to daily life and provide a quiet environment to ensure the quality of sleep. The mother dog's weight will increase significantly during pregnancy, and her movements will be less agile than before. You should try to prevent her from jumping from high places or jumping over obstacles to avoid danger. In addition, the mother dog's swollen abdomen makes it difficult for her to clean her genitals and scratch the itchy parts on her own, so these tasks will have to be taken care of by the owner.

2. Pay attention to the physiological changes during dog pregnancy. The dog's behavior may change during pregnancy. If other dogs approach, it may bark loudly or show signs of aggression. Therefore, pay attention when walking the dog, try to keep it at a distance from other dogs to avoid conflicts. If the dog's belly becomes large in the later stages of pregnancy, you should consider increasing the frequency of taking the dog out for urination, as the bladder capacity of the dog will decrease and it will not be able to hold urine as much as before.

3. Pay attention to the proper way of holding the pregnant dog. The safest way is to squat down, hold the dog's four legs with both arms, and lift it up in its entirety.

4. Pay attention to diet during dog pregnancy. Nutrition is crucial as it affects the health of the mother dog, ensures the normal development of the puppies, prevents miscarriage, and promotes the secretion of milk in the mother dog. High-nutrition food should be fed to pregnant dogs, such as MAG goat milk powder, which is made from high-quality native pasture goat milk powder as the main ingredient, and is enriched with protein, prebiotics, unsaturated fatty acids, etc. It is rich in nutrients and has good gastrointestinal absorption. After the puppies are born, if the mother dog does not have enough milk, you can mix this goat milk powder for the puppies to drink as a replacement for mother's milk.

5. Provide a clean and tidy environment to allow the mother dog to give birth to healthy puppies.
