QuestionHow long is a dog in heat? When is it safe to be around male dogs. Thank you
AnswerHi Laura!
Females will come into heat every six months and are in heat for about 3 weeks. The first week will be just the beginning of the cycle, the 2nd week is when she can get pregnant, then the third week is going out of heat. Your dog will be much healthier if you have her spayed. It is also a bonus for you not to worry about unwanted pregnancies. There are so many puppies overflowing the animal shelter, I truly hope you plan to have her spayed.
God Bless,
Becky
