Many people like to raise a male dog. Because if you raise a female dog, she will have two litters of puppies a year, and you might not know where to send them. Watching a female dog give birth can also be distressing. So even people who have raised dogs for many years get confused when they hear about dogs having periods. Do female dogs have periods? What are the precautions?
    1. Do female dogs have periods?
    Female dogs do have periods. Some people who are planning to raise a female dog might find this a bit scary. Is it really like girls, having a period every month? Of course not. Dogs come into heat twice a year. Once in the first half of the year and once in the second half. This is because during the two estrus periods there will be bleeding. Afterward, if she is with the male dog, she will get pregnant. Having a period means the female dog has the chance to be a mother. The period lasts relatively long for female dogs, generally ending after about two weeks. During the period, some dogs remain calm while others may seem lethargic. Owners need to pay more attention and observe the dog’s condition carefully.
    2. What are the precautions?

    When a female dog is in heat, usually gentle dogs become excited. Their eyes also shine brightly. Male dogs will sniff the female dog's scent, but the female dog will run far away and strongly reject the male dog's approach. When female dogs are in heat, owners need to manage their hygiene properly. Put physiological pants on the dog, and place sanitary pads or liners inside. When taking the dog for a walk, if you see male dogs approaching, owners should proactively drive the male dogs away. At this time the female dog’s emotions are very abnormal, so owners should not shout at her loudly. This special period requires understanding, and spending more time accompanying the dog to get through it. Some owners do not want to see their dogs give birth, so they choose to have their dogs sterilized. This is a more appropriate approach. Spending a little money to spare the female dog from the pain of childbirth and to stop her period is a way to care for the dog.

Do female dogs have periods? What are the precautions? When female dogs are in heat, put physiological pants on them. Also avoid going to crowded places because dogs prefer quietness during this time. Noisy environments are bad for the dog’s mood. Choose to walk your dog when there are fewer people, like early in the morning or at night. At the same time, ensure the dog receives adequate nutrition. Prepare enough water for the dog because dogs feel very thirsty during this period.
