Actually, dogs "get pregnant" similarly to humans, experiencing different physical changes throughout various stages of pregnancy.
Dog pregnancy cycle
The period from conception to the birth of puppies is approximately 63 days (about nine weeks).
0-21 days
Most dogs do not show any physical changes from the first day of conception to 21 days, so it is difficult for owners to notice.
21 to 30 days
A small number of dogs may exhibit signs of nausea, but they may not actually vomit.
At the same time, the dog's weight will gradually increase.Additionally, the dog's nipples will also start to swell.
30-40 days
Clear discharge may appear from the dog's vulva, and the nipples may have clear discharge. The weight will continue to increase significantly.
40-50 days
The dog's belly will become larger than before, and the puppies' development is almost complete, so you might see the puppies moving around in the belly!
About nine weeks
Owners need to prepare for the puppies' arrival!
Note: The signs of pregnancy in dogs may vary, so if you have any questions, remember to consult a veterinarian!
