Identifying pregnancy in dogs can be tricky, particularly in the early stages. Many pet owners wonder, "How do I know if my dog is pregnant?" Sometimes, behavioral changes or physical signals might raise suspicion, but definitive diagnosis often requires veterinary assistance.

Abdominal palpation and ultrasound examinations are frequently employed as diagnostic tools, enabling veterinary professionals to determine the existence and progress of a pregnancy early on.
