A dog can't get pregnant ever as 'dog' refers to the male. A bitch, being a female mammal, can get pregnant through most of her cycle but has dates when the chances are higher and is least likely to fall pregnant nearest her period (when the old egg cells are expelled by the body) at both the start and end of the cycle.
Yes, any other time she can not get pregnant. I have never before heard of dogs getting pregnant while they were not in heat.
No they can not and they will typically not let a male mount them if they are not in heat.
No if your dog is pregnant and appears to be in heat take her to the vet right away as she has most likely had a miscarriage
Dogs get the heat twice a year.
Generally no, the dogs heat cycle only lasts 6 - 9 days
Yes - get her spayed. Keeping her in the house, away from other dogs will not stop her from coming into heat but it will prevent her from getting pregnant.
Dogs are most fertile around days 11-14 of their heat cycle, but can potentially get pregnant at any point during their heat cycle. It is important to keep your dog away from male dogs before, during, and after her heat cycle to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Consulting with a veterinarian for advice on how to best manage your dog's heat cycle is recommended.
female dogs can get pregnant as soon as they start going into heat. You may notice small spots of blood on the floor, in the snow etc. That is from your dog having her period, from this point on she can become pregnant. I personally have had a dog that got pregnant at 7 months had her litter and got pregnant right after.
Female dogs typically go into heat, also known as estrus, twice a year. During this time, they are receptive to mating and can become pregnant. If a female dog has been spayed, she will no longer go into heat.
Dogs go into "heat" every 6-12 months (depending on the dog). Their heat cycles generally last 3 weeks. This is the time when dogs can become pregnant, so be sure to monitor your female
No. Only when the female is in season or "heat". She may allow a male dog she knows well to mount her at other times, but will walk away or growll after a few seconds if the male doesn't get the hint.
A dog must be in heat to get pregnant. Heat is basically her ovulation cycle.
