How to identify Pregnant Dog

What signs do I look for to determine if my dog is pregnant?

 

Well if it was intentional breeding, then count from the days she was bred that will determine when she's due to whelp. Other than that, if you don't know, then she'll have swollen abdomen, mamorary inflamation and you can have her taken to the vet and x-ryaed or a relaxin test done to determine.

 

I totally agree with sam. You can also get an ultrasound scan done at the vets office, this will determine if she is pregnant but can only be done 30days after mating.

Also another thing you will need to know, even if a dog is not bred she will go on to show some or all signs of being pregnant, Mammary gland enlargement, milk production, A little weight gain, They may even go through the motions of labour but not produce anything and will start mothering things like cuddly toys, socks, shoes...

Like sam mentioned if this breeding was intentional you should have the date wrote down of each mating she had.....

If your asking the question, you obviously have not bred her intentionally, I may be wrong if I am sorry, I hope its just not a lack of care, or back street breeding..Take her to the vet.. I might sound harsh but If you read the forums on here, and familiarizes with proper breeders, educate or desex..

Could be accidental or something, who knows....
