Haw Do You Know How Far Along A Pregnant Dog Is?

My friend's dog is definitely pregnant, but we can’t tell how far along she is. Sorry we do not know when she had became pregnant, but I can tell she is fairly fare. Her stomach and breast are greatly enlarged and I can feel the puppies moving around?

    Pregnancy in dogs lasts about nine weeks, with the due date being determined from the day of the first mating. At week five, the dog will get thicker around the waist and show obvious weight gain. It is at this time that you can feel the puppies as well. If the puppies are moving, then she is anywhere from 1-3 weeks away from delivery.

    At this time, your friend needs to set up a whelping box for the dog to give birth in. This should be big enough for the dog to comfortably lie in with extra space for puppies. Line it with old (clean) rags and clothes to make it comfortable. Put it in a quiet area so the dog is not disturbed and encourage her to spend time in it.
