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.
See Your Vet. If you think your dog is pregnant, take her to your vet. It's a good idea to take her for a prenatal checkup 2 or 3 weeks after she has mated. Your vet can answer any questions you may have, such as the type of food pregnant dogs should eat and what changes you should expect.
