Preparation and care before and after delivery of a bitch, the pregnancy period of a dog is 58-65 days. When the bitch is pregnant for nearly 60 days, the signs of delivery will gradually appear. The bitch began to appear restless, constantly grabbing the floor and mats with her forefoot, making nests. Most bitches do not eat within 24 hours before delivery, or only pick a small amount of food they like to eat; some will vomit slightly before delivery.

Generally, starting on the day of production, the body temperature of the bitch will gradually decrease, and the closer it is to production, the lower it may drop to about 36℃ 24 hours before production. When these signs appear, you must be ready for delivery at any time. The bitch who is about to give birth will keep turning back and forth, arching her back, and becoming larger, and she will start to experience force and pain. Usually, dogs start giving birth in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

Several clean towels, scissors, thread, cotton, disinfectant, washbasin, old newspapers. It is best to have insulation equipment during winter production.

For dogs with no delivery experience or high birth rate in dogs raised by a doctor, it is best to deliver their births by a doctor. Several prenatal examinations should be performed before delivery and the possible date of delivery should be known in advance so that they can be sent to the hospital in time. For owners who want to have their bitch give birth at home, it is best to have some understanding of the entire production process and ask the doctor for help with delivery methods.
