Take your dog's rectal temperature twice a day. If you have never taken your dog's temperature, consult your veterinarian for the proper procedure. Normally, a dog's temperature is between 100.5 degrees and 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Approximately 24 hours before labor, your dog's temperature will drop below 100 degrees.
Within 14 hours of this progesterone drop, there will be a fall in the dog's rectal temperature (normally around 100 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit; prior to whelping, the temperature may drop below 99 F). This temperature decrease is usually followed by labor within 12 to 24 hours.
