How long does it take before you can tell a dog is pregnant?
A pregnant dog usually shows clear signs around day 45 - the abdomen enlarges, the breasts swell and may leak milk, and you'll notice increased appetite, weight gain, and more frequent urination. Litters of only one or two puppies may show little belly growth. During pregnancy, boost protein and calcium to prevent post-whelping calcium deficiency.
