For most dogs pregnancy is required, but some dogs will have large nipples due to false pregnancies. The dog isn't going to have puppies, but her body thinks it is. Two of our great danes have done this before they were spayed. One ended up with very large nipples, looking like she had birthed many pups.

Usually a dogs nipples shouldn't need any care, you can clean the nipples with a wet wash cloth to keep it clean but that's about it.
