My dog is 43 days pregnant, can I still exercise my her. Will it hurt the puppies if I do?

Yes, you can exercise your dog, but take into consideration that she is pregnant in the same way you would for a human. So, don't ask her to do more exercise than she did up to this point. Walking and trotting is good, running is OK if she is used to it. Let the dog set the limit, make certain that she gets plenty of water and rest.

Yes you can definintely exercise your pregnant dog. I have had 2 litters and they still like exercise provided the weather is satisfactory ( not to hot or cold). I would probably stop the walks the last two weeks, as that is when their is a lot of weight gain and it could become stressful or uncomfortable. However there is no reason you can't let her run around your yard or open area.

Regular walks are fine. Keep in mind your only a little over 20 days for delivery. Absolutely no jumping! You don't want to stress her out, but keep in mind she 's still a dog. A week before she's ready, make sure you have an area and bed ready, Let her know it's o.k. for her. One more thing, don't have to much sheets layed down on the ground the mother will lay on them and kill them accidently. (paper is better)
Good luck

You should still exercise her. It's good for her, just make sure that she doesn't get too worn out.
Good Luck with the pups :)

I would think you could take her for a walk, but just keep an eye on her and if she looks like she's tiring, go back. Walk at her pace, take it easy.

I wouldn't do anything like hard running or anythign...a nice walk or even slow jog would be good. Don't expect her to run to much as she will tire very easily.
