First of all, let me explain that a female dog’s bleeding is different from a human’s menstrual period. A dog’s menstrual period is a sign that it has begun to mature and come into estrus. Generally speaking, a small dog (such as a Teddy) will have its first menstrual period when it is 7- Around 9 months old, large dogs (such as golden retrievers) will start later, and 8-10 months old, fast-growing dogs will start earlier.

Taking female golden retrievers as an example, each "period" lasts about 15-20 days, twice a year. During this period, the dog's temper will be a little more irritable than usual. The owner should fully understand and do a good job of keeping warm so that the dog does not catch a cold. It is best not to take a bath.

It is best to prepare special menstrual underwear for dogs to wear during their period, which is hygienic and safe. You can also DIY one using old underwear. If you are not good at needlework, you can ask your mother for help~ But remember to leave a place for the dog’s tail and poop...

Special reminder: It is best not to breed a dog when it is in heat for the first time, because the risk is high the first time and the number of dogs will be small. 1-3 years old is a more suitable age.
