How Soon After Birth Can a Mother Dog Be Walked?

A mother dog can move around indoors after birth, but for outdoor walks, it is best to wait about a month after delivery. She loses a great deal of energy during labor and her resistance drops, and she must nurse the puppies.

If she goes outside and contacts the external environment at this time, she is easily infected and may fall ill or pass the infection to the puppies. So for the first 30 days after birth, it is best to keep her at home.
