Question
It's 65 days since my female was bred , how long before she gives birth  i thought it was about 62 days  she dosent seem to be having any trouble

Answer
Hello Sally -

Congratulations !

The general gestation period for all dogs is nine weeks or 60-65 days.

As long as your female is not showing any signs of trouble you should not be worried. Be sure to be prepared with your whelping box, needle and thread and small bottles in case there are complications during the birth.

If your pet has not begun to show signs to prepare for birth in another week, contact your veterinarian, they will be able to help your further.

I hope this answer has helped you and your pet.

Thank you and best wishes to you, your pet and your new puppies!
