Does Pregnancy Cause Personality Changes in Dogs
Chihuahua

  Many owners notice that their dogs’ temperament changes after pregnancy. Just like humans, do dogs also have unstable moods and can suddenly turn bad-tempered during pregnancy?
  From the moment a female dog becomes successfully pregnant, her personality and temperament start to change little by little. Due to the discomfort caused by pregnancy, the dog’s temperament gradually becomes agitated and uneasy. In early pregnancy, the dog may experience mild vomiting, decreased appetite, and other pregnancy symptoms. Naturally, it is these uncomfortable feelings that lead to the dog’s personality becoming more restless.
  In mid-pregnancy, the dog’s condition gradually stabilizes, and her mood slightly improves. However, as her belly grows larger day by day, the pet’s movements become more awkward, and their personality becomes lazier and less inclined to exercise.
  Approaching labor, the dog’s body changes again. Because the puppies inside become more active, the dog feels uncomfortable. As a result, her temperament becomes irritable. Near labor, she frequently enters and exits the whelping box and becomes easily angered. Therefore, special care must be taken when the dog’s pregnancy nears delivery, and it is very important not to anger her.
