It depends on what your trying to do.If the goal is to avoid the dog spotting the floor and furniture, using doggie diapers works great. companies like pet peepers.com found at http://www.petdiapers.com and four paws wee wee disposable diapers can be bought along with my favorite, Cozy Pet- Pet Panty and Pads. We run a kennel and this is out first choice for house dogs.
"Pet Panty is made of durable, washable denim fabric with a 100% cotton ruffle and is designed to give your pet complete leg and tail movement. We've included a self-adhesive strip to help keep the sanitary pad in place while the sewn-in plastic liner keeps the soiled pad from soaking through to the fabric. Plus, it features Velcro for easy on/off with an opening for the tail to go through. Great for females in season, excitable urination and housebreaking puppies. Six panty liners included."

Nothing, they clean themselves. If the flow is extremely heavy, take dog to vet.
For instructions on how to care for your dog in heat, check out the related link below.
Take the dog to a veterinarian.
Female dogs go into heat when they think of mating, they get excited, then the male dogs will mate with them... however a male dog can make a female one to go into heat by licking the dog's vulva with their tongues...........
Only if they are spayed.
if they are not female and are not fixed
Most females will only allow a male to mount them if they are in heat as this is the time when they are most fertile. Although some females will allow a dog to mate them whilst they are not in heat, there is less chance of the female getting pregnant.
I have a female Newfoundland and she just went into heat right at 6 months old.
Female dogs heat usually lasts 3 weeks.
No they do not the female dog has to be in heat
If they aren't neutered, yes.
they have periods but then it is called going into heat
No, only female dogs can go into heat. Males can mate at any time of the year.
Like Females we have are period and female dogs also have there period every six months.But there is called heat not a period it usally last up to 3 weeks.
There is no reason to give a female dog medications for a first heat. Having a heat cycle is a normal thing for a female dog. If you are not going to breed her, then have her spayed as soon as she is out of heat. She will live a longer and healthier life. Cut down her risks of mammary tumors, uterine infections, perianal tumors, etc.
