Is your dog acting as if he has an object in his ear that is driving him nuts? Is he using cotton swabs all the time, like he is attempting desperately to eliminate wax buildup?

It’s typically not easy or obvious to tell when your dog might be pregnant or whelping (a dog-specific term for birthing). She won’t be “late” and you can’t just buy a home pregnancy kit from the neighborhood drugstore for her. Not to mention, it would be a very difficult task to get her to pee on a stick.

But if your female dog is not spayed and you suppose that she may be pregnant, there are some signs and symptoms that you can look for on your own.
