A dog’s ovulation period is in the mid-to-late stage of estrus, around days 11 to 14 of the heat cycle, when the conception rate from mating is highest.
If you plan to breed your dog, you can mate her during this time. If you do not plan to breed, during this period keep her away from male dogs.
To prevent accidental pregnancy, when taking a female dog in heat outside, you can put her in sanitary pants to avoid harassment by male dogs.
