how can you tell a dog is pregnent?

Answer 1

I always could tell by her tummy getting bigger and her nipples showing changes. I would also take her to your vet and confirm it. She may need extra care or nutritional supplements. Not all dogs carry babies the same. Here's some sites to help you know all about pregnant dogs:
