Never let your female dog out into the backyard by herself, and, when walking her, make sure she is always on a lead. Pay Attention to Her Energy Levels.
Many females in heat will not be as active as usual. This is normal. Continue to play with your dog and take her for walks, paying attention to her energy levels.
If you normally walk for half an hour in the morning but notice she is dragging after 10 minutes, then cut your walks shorter during her cycle. Keep Her Groomed. Depending on the breed, many dogs will need to be groomed while in their estrous cycle, with a focus on the coat surrounding the private parts, so that bloody discharge doesn't dry in the fur.
If this happens, it means additional clean-up and potential infections. Get Some Doggie Diapers. This discharge can and will get on your carpet, furniture, and floors. Support her with pads and blankets. So, if accidental leaks happen, the pad soaks up the mess and her favorite place to rest stays clean and dry. Consider Spaying Your Dog. C onsider spaying your dog. Spaying is not only a great way for your dog to no longer experience estrous cycles but also controls the homeless pet population.
It also helps in keeping your dog healthy and improve their quality of life. Spayed female dogs show a lower incidence of breast, ovarian, and cervical cancers, and typically live longer. The third stage of heat is called Diestrus, which lasts for about 2 months. The final stage is the Anestrus, where your female dog will appear normal and return to her regular behavior. This is the period lasting between Diestrus and the next Proestrus. This stage lasts around 4 months, or until her next cycle.
Even an older dog can get pregnant, though. Regardless of what you choose, though, pay attention to her heat cycles and choose the best option for you and your family. What has your experience been like with a dog in heat? Share your comments below!
