If your pet needs any tests, your vet will let you know. If she has parasites, your vet will treat them. During your visit, your vet can use ultrasound to see the growing puppies as early as 3 weeks in. Ultrasound is safe during pregnancy. It uses sound waves to create an image of your dog's womb. The vet may give your dog a blood test to check her hormone levels. Dogs have higher levels of a hormone called relaxin when they're pregnant.
A dog's pregnancy lasts, on an average, 63 days. It would be hard to say when your dog will show. Each dog is different, just like each person. The best thing to do, is take her to the vet when you think she would be about half way through the pregnancy and have an ultrasound done. So, about 30 days from the day she was bred, she should go.
