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.
The quickest way to tell if the dog is pregnant is to take the dog to a vet and have blood drawn. It is VERY important to do this as sometimes what you may think is a pregnancy is a closed Pyometria, which can of cousre kill the bitch and is an automatic spay.
