A lack of appetite is usually one of the earliest signs that your dog might be pregnant. Not all females go through this doggie version of morning sickness, but a small percentage of dogs will eat less during the first few weeks of gestation and will usually make up for it later in the pregnancy.
A dog may not show any signs of pregnancy in the first 2-3 weeks (which is the first third of the pregnancy). Her appetite should remain normal. Pregnant female dogs absolutely do suffer from morning sickness like people do, however not until approximately day 21 after being mated. It usually lasts 1-2 weeks. Also on day 21, you can look at your female's gums. If the mating took, her gums will be white instead of the normal pink.
