Things You Should Know When It Comes To Caring For A Pregnant Dog

4. Exercise

You shouldn’t over-exercise your dog. While regular exercise is essential, it’s important to limit them to shorter walks once they’ve passed the 30-day stage to prevent exhaustion. Dogs often give clear signals when they’re tired or simply not in the mood for a walk. Their body language should be noted; are they lying down, slowing down, or fighting the leash? These are signs they’ve had enough

After all, who knows your dog better than you? Mums always seem to have that intuition, don’t they?

Overdoing it can lead to joint strain or fatigue, especially in younger or older dogs. Instead, focus on quality over quantity. Short, frequent walks paired with mental stimulation, like puzzle toys or training exercises, can keep them happy and healthy. Remember, every dog is unique. What works for one might not suit another. So, tune into your dog’s needs and adjust accordingly. Isn’t it better to have a happy, energetic pup than one who’s overworked and worn out?
