Question: How do I find out if my dog is pregnant?

Answer: If you suspect your dog is pregnant, please take her to the veterinarian's for a check-up. The veterinarian can palpate her abdomen, to feel for pups,or ultrasounds can be taken. If your dog is pregnant, she'll need prenatal care, and need to be free of infectious diseases. There are many things that can go wrong with a pregnancy, so please do not leave things to chance.
