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.
