At what age do female dogs start to menstruate? Female dogs start to menstruate after they come into heat at 7 or 8 months. During estrus, dogs experience vaginal swelling and bleeding, hence the term dog menstruation. The dog’s period will come once every six months, but because of the different body types, some dogs will come more slowly, and some will not have their first period until they are 1-2 years old, but they will usually have their first period at 7-8 months. If the dog is a small dog, the amount of menstrual blood will not be a lot, large dogs will be more, usually the dog will lick off the blood themselves. If you are afraid that your dog’s menstruation will dirty your home, the owner can prepare physiological pants for your dog to wear.
