Dog's Pregnancy Calculator

How long is a dog's pregnancy?

The gestation period for dogs is approximately 63 days, which is measured from the day of ovulation to the day of birth of the puppies. The gestation period for female dogs is divided into three stages, each stage lasting 21 days.

What are the signs of pregnancy in dogs?

• Increased appetite.
• Weight gain.
• Increased nipple size.

As your dog's pregnancy nears its end, you'll notice significant enlargement of the mammary glands and nipples, and you may even detect some milky fluid. The pregnant female dog's belly will also increase in size, and she may wobble slightly while walking. Toward the end of pregnancy, you may be able to see or feel the puppies moving around inside the mother's belly.

Caution: It's important to remember that other conditions can cause changes in appetite, weight gain, and abdominal swelling. To rule out more serious conditions, take your dog to the vet for a checkup if these signs appear.
