How old does a dog have to be for a menstrual cycle?
Technically, dogs do not have menstrual cycles - only primates menstruate. However, dogs do have estrus or heat cycles, and a female dog can start cycling at about 6 months of age.
Do dogs go through menopause if so When?
No, menopause is a primate-only event in which menstrual cycles become erratic and then cease. As dogs do not have menstrual cycles, they do not go through menopause. Dogs have estrus cycles, and under certain conditions can go through a period of anestrus when they stop having estrus cycles. Late in life, a female dog may permanently go into anestrus, but this is not all that common.
Why does your dog smell foul in between menstrual cycles?
Female dogs (bitches) don't have menstrual cycles in the same way that women do. Bitches go through estrus, or go into heat, three times a year. It is during these times that they are receptive to mating and can become pregnant. The odor of female dogs in heat is designed to attract males and increase the chances of mating. You can reduce the smell of your bitch's genital area by purchasing "bitch's britches" and pads for her to wear during estrus. These are available commercially and also reduce staining of furniture, carpeting, etc.
How long does a Shetland Sheepdogs menstrual period last also at what age do they usually begin?
Shetland Sheepdogs, like all dogs, do not technically have a menstrual period - this is a biological phenomenon restricted to humans and primates. However, dogs do have heat or estrus cycles in which they are fertile and receptive to male dogs. These cycles occur every 60 days or so and are generally less than a week in length. The first heat cycle generally happens at 6-8 months of age, which is why veterinarians recommend having your female dog spayed by 6 months ofage.

Can a 57 lb Pit Bull female 11 yrs be given Excedrine for menstrual pain?
NO - you should NEVER give your dog medications that are meant for humans; dogs are not little humans and do not react to medications the same as humans. Over the counter pain medications (Excedrin, Tylenol, Aleve, Advil, etc.) are particularly harmful for dogs - one pill can cause a fatal stomach ulcer. In addition, dogs really don't get menstrual pain - they don't have menstrual cycles like humans where the lining of the uterus increases then is shed. If your dog appears to be having menstrual pain, you should take her to your veterinarian immediately - I would worry about uterine, ovarian or mammary cancer.
Do all female dogs have periods if not why?
No, they have an estrous cycle rather than a menstrual cycle where the endometrium is absorbed rather than expelled.
