Not suitable for pregnant dogs

There are two types of dogs that are not suitable for pregnancy: 1. Frail and sick dogs; 2. Dogs with hidden dangers of genetic diseases.

Regardless of future breeding conditions, simply looking at the dog's own condition, some dogs are indeed not suitable for pregnancy and childbirth. For example, some dogs are frail and sickly and are often frequent visitors to animal hospitals. It is recommended that such frail dogs not get pregnant.

Because they cannot bear the physical load, and even if they survive the 60-day pregnancy period, they are very prone to dystocia and miscarriage during the delivery stage.

In addition, dogs with genetic diseases should not be bred. For example, dogs suffering from juvenile cataracts, hip dysplasia, or shark mouth (too short lower jaw) will have a high probability of giving birth to puppies with the same disease. Therefore, avoid mating as much as possible.

For the above types of dogs, it is best to avoid pregnancy. Otherwise, it will not only harm the pregnant mother, but also be bad for the puppies.

Warm reminder: Insufficient nutrition is definitely not conducive to the estrus of female dogs, and excessive obesity is also not conducive to reproduction. However, these two types of situations only have a certain impact on dog pregnancy, and they are not incapable of pregnancy.
