How long are dogs pregnant?
Generally, dogs are pregnant for 57 to 65 days, with most giving birth at around 63 days or 9 weeks. This goes for all dog breeds – a small breed dog will tend to have the same gestation period as a giant breed. However, this timeline can vary slightly depending on the individual dog.
For dog pregnancies that are pre-planned with a stud dog, it’s a good idea to make a note of the date of mating so that you know what day your dam is most likely to give birth.
