Frequently Asked Questions

How long are dogs pregnant?
Dog pregnancy lasts approximately 63 days (9 weeks) from ovulation. The range is 58-68 days, and larger breeds sometimes go longer.
When can a vet confirm pregnancy?
Blood tests can detect pregnancy hormones around day 25. Ultrasound works around day 25-30, and X-rays can count puppies after day 45.
What should I feed a pregnant dog?
Continue regular food for the first 4-5 weeks, then gradually switch to high-quality puppy food. Increase portions by 25-50% in the last trimester.
How do I prepare for whelping?
Set up a quiet whelping box 2 weeks early. Have clean towels, heating pad, suction bulb, dental floss for cords, and your vet's emergency number ready.
When should I call the vet during labor?
Call if more than 2 hours pass between puppies, if strong contractions last over 30 minutes without a puppy, or if you see dark green discharge before the first puppy.
