Once their dog is pregnant, many parents have to pay attention to many things. For example, can a pregnant pet dog be bathed? This question should also be taken seriously. So, can it be bathed? Let’s take a look at that.

Can a pregnant pet dog be bathed?

Do not bathe your dog when she is just pregnant. In the first 3 weeks of pregnancy, the dog is most likely to miscarry due to external reasons, so it is not recommended to bathe your dog at this time. When the dog is one month pregnant, if the dog is really dirty, it is necessary to bathe the dog with the cooperation of two owners, and the dog's belly cannot be rubbed hard.

When taking a bath, be sure to ensure that the water temperature is at room temperature. After taking a bath, use a hair dryer to dry the water droplets on the dog's hair promptly to prevent the dog from catching a cold or getting sick due to taking a bath. It is not advisable to bathe your dog 20 days before delivery. The closer the delivery time is, the more restless the dog will be, and the dog will not cooperate with you in bathing. Since the dog's abdomen begins to swell, bathing is also very inconvenient.

Precautions for pet dog pregnancy

1. Try not to bathe your dog during pregnancy, mainly because you are worried about colds, because it is not recommended for pregnant female dogs to take medicine.

2. Deworming

There are many imported deworming drugs that can be taken by female dogs during pregnancy. If parents forget to deworm their dogs before they go into heat, they must make up for this lesson. It is very important. Because internal parasites can be transmitted to puppies through the placenta and umbilical cord blood, puppies with severe internal parasites will become thin, anemic, irritable and restless during the milk drinking period, which can seriously lead to death of the puppies.

3. Bask in the sun and supplement calcium

Calcium supplementation for bitches during pregnancy is important, especially after delivery. As puppies are born, bitches will lose a large amount of calcium. Postpartum calcium deficiency can lead to convulsions and severe death. Parents who have the conditions can go to the hospital to infuse a bottle of calcium gluconate after the female dog gives birth, which is very helpful to the female dog’s health.

4. Diet

During the first thirty days of pregnancy, female dogs do not need to pay too much attention to their diet. After thirty days of pregnancy, as the fetus in the abdomen gradually grows, it will put pressure on the stomach. During this period, you can use the method of eating less and more meals. Change the original two meals a day to 3-4 meals a day, or add a meal of broth during the day. If you need more nutrition, you can eat MAG goat milk powder.

5. Sports

A friend of mine who raises a Chow told me that his Chow was left alone the day after being bred. After 30 days, if the dog is not pregnant, he will be put back into a group life. If he is pregnant, he will still have to live in a group. Single room, small stove, because Chow Chow is particularly prone to miscarriage. But in the actual process of breeding Huskies, I did not find anyShiki has a tendency to miscarry easily. After my puppy is mated, I will leave her alone. If she becomes pregnant after 30 days, I will add more nutrients to her diet. After 45 days, I will separate her from other dogs and let her walk alone.

6. Don’t let your dog engage in heavy exercise activities

After mating, the female dog should not be allowed to run or play around, do not lead the dog up and down stairs, or crawl into tunnels, and try not to let the female dog run forward while being pulled by people. She lowered her head, huffed and puffed, and her legs scratched the ground, but she couldn't run away. Some friends will ask, before my female dog was bred, I would ride a bicycle and run 5 kilometers with her every day. Can I stop running after she was bred? I just want to say that the physiques of dogs are different, and there may be some. Female dogs will be fine if they run around and play rough after pregnancy, but some female dogs may actually get into trouble. I think everyone should not take this risk. After all, the mother dog and the baby in her belly are the most important.

7. Female dogs may have symptoms of anorexia during pregnancy. Don’t worry. This is a normal reaction. About 10-30 days after breeding, the owner can make some of the dog’s favorite food and mix it with dog food to feed her. After all, dogs Food is the most nutritious. If you only eat the delicious but nutritious food, it will be meaningless.

The above is the relevant information about whether a pregnant dog can be bathed. I hope it can help you.
