1. What Is Dog Pregnancy Calculator?

The Dog Pregnancy Calculator helps track your dog's pregnancy progress day by day. It calculates how many days have passed since mating and predicts the due date based on the standard 63-day gestation period for dogs.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses simple date calculations:

Where:

• Mating Date — The date when breeding occurred
• Current Date — Today's date or any date you want to check
• 63 Days — Standard canine gestation period

Explanation: The calculator tracks the progression of pregnancy and helps anticipate when puppies will arrive.

3. Importance Of Tracking Pregnancy

Details: Monitoring your dog's pregnancy helps ensure proper prenatal care, anticipate veterinary visits, and prepare for whelping. Knowing the due date allows you to create a comfortable whelping area and be prepared for the birth.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter the exact mating date and the current date (or any date you want to check). The calculator will show how many days pregnant your dog is and the expected due date.
