Samoyed Dog (Detailed Introduction)

       Dogs’ pregnancy differs from humans. Human pregnancy generally lasts about 9 months, while dogs usually only need about 2 months to reproduce the next generation. We can easily judge the middle to late pregnancy stage because the dog's belly gradually enlarges day by day. However, how do we determine if a dog is pregnant in the early stage? Next, we will discuss the symptoms of pregnancy in Samoyed dogs.

       1. Changes in appetite: In the early stage of successful pregnancy, the Samoyed's appetite will decrease. But as the pregnancy progresses, the Samoyed's appetite grows larger and larger. The closer to late pregnancy, the bigger the Samoyed's appetite becomes. You may find it sometimes behaving like a hungry wolf, showing a greedy desire for food.

       2. Personality changes: Throughout the pregnancy, due to physical discomfort, the Samoyed will become slow to react and lazy in daily life, sometimes liking to lie in the dog bed to rest. Due to pregnancy effects, the Samoyed may sometimes become agitated and easily angered.

       3. Physical changes: These changes become more obvious as the pregnancy progresses. Around the 30th day of the dog's pregnancy, the Samoyed's abdomen will slowly begin to swell. At this time, if you touch the area of the uterus on the abdomen, you can feel a placenta about the size of an egg. Afterwards, the abdomen will continue to grow until the puppies are successfully delivered, then the swelling disappears.

       Therefore, the Samoyed dog pregnancy symptoms include increased appetite, becoming lazier, more irritability, and progressively enlarging belly. Based on these symptoms, we can preliminarily judge whether the Samoyed has conceived and if it is pregnant, allowing us to adjust care for them more quickly.
