When do smaller dogs get their period?

Answer 1

like any dog at 6 months of age and then every 6 months unless she's irregular. then you may want to keep an eye on her. but they have their periods 2 a year unless their irregular then 2-4 times a year

Answer 2

Female dogs do not technically have periods. They often have a bloody vaginal discharge during oestrus, but this is not the same thing as menstruation; among other differences, it occurs before rather than after ovulation and is due to a completely different biological process.

Most female dogs go into heat for the first time somewhere between the ages of six and eighteen months. It may occasionally delay a bit longer than that, but nearly always commences before the end of their second year.

Answer 3

Smaller dogs typically reach puberty and start their first heat cycle between 6-12 months of age. The specific timing can vary based on the breed and individual dog.
