Is my dog's 65-day pregnancy normal? Why is she nesting with toys?

Continue to wait. There is a range for pets when it comes to when they will actually give birth, just like in people. The range is 58-72 days with an average of 65 days. So continue to monitor her for signs of impending labor. If she does start the labor process and is having complications then it's best to take her to your nearest vet for assistance. Here is a website link with things to watch out for. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=678 Best wishes with Tasha and her impending puppies. I hope everything goes well.

An average pregnancy lasts 63 to 65 days. Dogs can give birth any time from the 58th day to the 68th day. Any birth during that time frame is normal. Earlier than 58 days and your dog may be giving birth to premature puppies.

Dogs have the same gestation period no matter what their size or the litter size. Average is 63-65 days. There is no way to know if she will deliver early, late or on time. You will just need to monitor for signs of impeding delivery as that will give you the best idea as to when to expect the puppies. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Two months following her Heat cycle is the exact time you would see these symptoms as that coincides with the timing she would be close to giving birth if she were pregnant. Normal pregnancy lasts 9 weeks or 63 days. If you are sure she is not pregnant, than she is likely having a false pregnancy and the symptoms can last for a few weeks.

Bella's puppies are beautiful! A dog's pregnancy can be between 58-68 days, so even if they came around the 60 day mark, they will be fine. As long as they are nursing and gaining weight daily, everything should be ok :-)

Hello. The average gestation for dogs is 58-68 days, so she should be getting very close. As long as she seems happy, I do not think you have anything to worry about just yet. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Average gestation period is anywhere from 58-72 days with an average of 65 days, so technically she is not overdue, just longer than the average. I would continue to monitor since she is not showing any signs of being in distress or trouble. If she goes past day 72, then certainly it is worthwhile getting her seen by your vet to ensure the puppies are still healthy and to consider a c-section.
