Typically, a dog’s gestation period is about two months. The dog’s nutrient requirements are high during pregnancy and a varied diet is recommended, with attention to vitamin, mineral and trace element supplementation. Dogs need appropriate exercise during pregnancy, but not strenuous exercise and avoid contact with other unfamiliar dogs. When a dog is experiencing watery vaginal discharge, restlessness, or shortness of breath, it is a good indication that labor is imminent. What else should the dog owner prepare? 1. contact information for veterinarians: for breeds that are more likely to have difficult deliveries (such as large-headed bulldogs, or small breeds), it is best to ask a veterinarian to deliver the baby; if the dog owner does not have experience as a “midwife”, it is better not to make the attempt easily. 2. delivery tools: old newspapers, towels, cotton, cotton thread, scissors, iodine, washbasin. In winter, also pay attention to insulation. 3. help the mother dog cut off unnecessary dog hair and scrub clean. 4. try to soothe it next to the dog, soothe the dog, with a close master beside, the dog will be more at ease.
