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.
To prevent (or encourage) pregnancy, its important to know when your dog can become pregnant. Your dog can get pregnant during her heat cycle (or estrus). Dogs DO NOT go through menopause the way humans do. As they grow older they are less fertile, but it is possible for your older dog to become pregnant. Dogs typically have two heats per year.
