Best Answer

Female dogs do not have periods per se, but they do go through a regular heat cycle if they have not been spayed, or desexed.

The average heat cycle for a dog is anywhere from 1 week to 4 weeks in length. The time between heat periods is usually around seven months but can vary from every 4 months to once a year.

During the first part of the heat cycle, there is swelling and bleeding from the vulva, and male dogs will be hanging around nearby. This is what is generally thought to be a "period". The female will lick herself a lot more than usual, but blood spots may still be left around the house and territory.

Having your dog spayed will prevent this problem, and research has indicated there are health benefits associated with desexing. If you do not intend to breed your dog, having her spayed would be a sensible option.

yep, they sure do, although it's not as much blood as humans. HOWEVER...if u think they r lucky bcuz there isn't as much blood 4 them, think again. they have their period 4 A WHOLE MONTH! some people put diapers on their dogs, and it is SO CUTE!

2nd Answer:

No, Dogs do NOT have a period. They have heat cycles approximately every 6 months or so. This the time that they can conceive (become pregnant). It lasts approximately 2-3 weeks. If you do not wish for your dog to become pregnant and to live a longer healthier life, have her spayed (but not during her heat cycle as chances of bleeding are greater).

Absolutely! Many dogs wear diapers to prevent this from becoming a messy situation :) Also, beware, this dog can get pregnant so be sure you take precautions or are well equipped to handle the pregnancy & the birth!

No. Menstruation is unique to primates. Dogs are canines.

No, dogs do not have a menstrual cycle like female humans do.
Dogs will bleed when they're in heat, but that's not the same thing at all.
