Things to note when dogs are in 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.

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.

3. Accompany dogs

Playing with dogs as much as possible can release their energy and distract them. Soothe the dog's emotions, reduce the dog's stress, and do not scold the dog excessively.

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.
