During estrus, the dog's body organs are more sensitive and are easily affected by large fluctuations. Endocrine and metabolic disorders and abnormalities may cause the dog to be in a special period and cause the body temperature to rise. During estrus, the body organs are sensitive and nutrients cannot be supplied normally, and the trace elements originally needed by the dog's body cannot be provided in time. This situation will cause the body temperature to be too high.

How to care for dogs during estrus

1. Pay attention to hygiene

The secretions from both male and female vulva will increase. Therefore, you must pay attention to cleaning at this time. During the dog's estrus period, use clean warm water and a cloth to gently clean the dog's vulva every day. Pay attention to cleanliness, otherwise it will easily cause infection of the dog’s reproductive organs.

2. Reduce going out

Emotions are not very stable during estrus, so try to go out as little as possible to avoid causing trouble. When going out, be sure to keep your dog on a leash to prevent emergencies. For example: encountering stray dogs, dogs in heat, etc. This way you can better control your dog and avoid conflicts and fights.

3. Soothing emotions

As mentioned above, dogs’ emotional ups and downs are relatively large, so emotional comfort is equally important. During this period, you can interact more with your dog, play games, and distract it.

4. Improve diet

The diet must be nutritious, because dogs in estrus lose too much nutrients, and nutrition must be replenished in time. Moreover, dogs’ appetites are not very good, so they can eat smaller meals more often. At this time, you should choose natural dog food that is easy to digest, high in protein, low in fat, and rich in nutrients to supplement the dog's nutrition healthily and effectively.
