What Do You Do When Your Dog Gets Her Period
For many dogs, the arrival of their heat cycle is a stressful time. They may be confused about why they suddenly feel different and there may be some behavioral changes in your dog once she goes into heat. The good news is that it’s not just female humans who go through this process! Dogs also have a monthly cycle when they are ready to breed and can become pregnant if they mate with a male dog at this time. It’s important to know what you’re dealing with when your pet comes into heat so that you can make sure everything goes smoothly during this time period; here are some tips on how to handle them:
1. Take your dog to the vet before her period starts, so you can get any supplies you need to make it easier for both of you.
When your dog gets her period, it’s important to make sure they’re comfortable and healthy. Take them to the vet before their period starts so that they can get whatever supplies they might need, like a heating pad or special food.
2. If your dog is a breed that comes into heat only once a year, count on her period lasting about 21 days.
If your dog is a breed that comes into heat only once a year, count on her period lasting about 21 days. If she’s bleeding for longer than 21 days, she may be pregnant. And if she’s bleeding for less than 21 days, she may also be pregnant.
3. Your dog’s hormones will make her act differently, but she will still be the same loving pet she always has been.
It may be difficult to see your dog as anything other than her usual self. However, there are subtle behavioral changes that you can look out for. Just like humans, dogs have a different sense of smell than us and they can use this to determine if another dog is in heat or not. Your dog’s hormones will make them act differently during the heat cycle, but they will still be the same loving pet they always have been.
4. You may notice that your dog marks everything with urine in the house when she is on her period, and this is totally normal behavior for dogs as they try to attract males while they are ready to breed.
When your dog marks everything with urine in the house when she is on her period, and this is totally normal behavior for dogs as they try to attract males while they are ready to breed.
Dogs do this by urinating on objects around them or even on other animals. This can be something of a nuisance if you live together with many other people or pets but it’s also quite common for dogs to mark their territory in this way so don’t worry too much about it!
Dogs are trying to attract males by releasing pheromones into their urine because they want to reproduce at that time of year. It’s important not to get angry at your dog if this happens because they are only doing what comes naturally without any malice or intent behind the act itself – just like humans might feel uncomfortable having sexual advances made towards them without consent being sought first!
5. Don’t be surprised if one of your male dogs suddenly acts very differently in the presence of your female dog who is in heat; the males sense the scent of the female and are not able to control themselves around her even if they have been well-trained.

You can train your male dog to stay away from your female dog by using a leash or other means, but he may still try to sneak up on her. If that happens, you should be ready to pull him back as soon as possible.
6. Make sure that when you walk your dog on a leash during her heat cycle, she is wearing an identifying collar or vest so people know that she is not available to breed with male dogs.
When your dog goes into heat, her body will change. She may have bloody discharge, which can be very upsetting for you and her. Her behavior will also change: she’ll be more active and affectionate (but not necessarily in a good way). Your dog may become vocal or more interested in other dogs during this time.
If you haven’t kept up with the idea of spaying your female dog, here are some things that you should consider:
- Make sure that when you walk your dog on a leash during her heat cycle, she is wearing an identifying collar or vest so people know that she is not available to breed with male dogs.
If you have a female dog who is in heat, she will most likely act very differently during this time. You should be prepared for some changes in your pet’s behavior and try to give her as much attention and affection as possible. If you have other male dogs in the house, make sure they are well-trained before they meet up with your female dog who is ready to mate; otherwise, there could be trouble!
