When does the dog get sick? Everything you need to know

The female dog's period is something that affects not only her but also the rest of the animals in the family. This is a very demanding phase, where your dog will need care and attention, as many animals have a tendency to burst during estrus.

Let's see them below in more detail.

When does the dog get sick?

Dog period begins in adolescence. This in dogs means that their period comes around 6-12 months.

How often do dogs get their period and how long does it last?

Usually, dogs have periods 2 times a year. So you can expect your dog to have her period again 6-8 months after her previous appearance.

The period in female dogs lasts about 3-4 weeks. In the first ten days, during the preestrus phase, the female does not want to be approached by a male, tends to hide and can be a bit down and ill-tempered. In the next 10-15 days, during the oestrus phase, the dog seeks mating and becomes affectionate but restless.

What needs special attention during the female period phase is the possibility that she will run away from the house and mate. Her tendency to... freedom is particularly strong and she can leave during the walk or even from the house (e.g. from the balcony).

So, you have to be very careful, so that the animal is not lost or injured. In addition, to avoid mating and serious health problems that appear in female dogs over time, veterinarians recommend sterilization from the animal's young age.
