How to use the Dog Pregnancy Due Date Calculator?

1. Enter the mating date: Click on the date input field labeled “Date of Mating.” A calendar will appear, allowing you to select the exact date when your dog mated. If you’re unsure of the exact date, use your best estimate.

2. Calculate the due date: After entering the mating date, click the “Calculate Due Date” button. The calculator will process the information and display the results.

• Expected Due Date: This is the most likely date your dog will give birth, based on a 63-day gestation period.
• Earliest Possible Date: The calculator also provides the earliest date your dog might give birth, typically around 58 days after mating.
• Latest Possible Date: You’ll see the latest possible date for birth, usually around 68 days after mating.

3. Interpret the information: The calculator provides a range of dates because dog pregnancies can vary in length. The highlighted expected due date is a good target to aim for, but be prepared for birth to occur anytime within the given range.

While this calculator provides a useful estimate, it’s not a substitute for professional veterinary care. Every dog’s pregnancy can be slightly different, and factors like breed and litter size can affect gestation length. Always consult with your veterinarian for personalized advice and to monitor your dog’s pregnancy progress.
