if the female dog have menstrual period?

Question

when they have it and what is the consecuens

or we call heat

Answer 1

Once a female dog reaches puberty it begins its regular cycles of Estrus or heat which allow the dog to release eggs and reproduce. Most females have 2 cycles per year. Signs that your dog is in heat include include vaginal discharge which is clear, bleeding and swelling of the vulva. There is increased restlessness and there may be increased urination. You also may notice stray dogs hanging around your house, though the female will not accept mating at this point. This early period of heat called Proestrus, lasts between 4 -15 days depending on the size and breed of the dog along with other factors.

The next stage in the estrous cycle is the actual Estrus/heat where the dog will accept a mate and can get pregnant. Unless you are a professional dog breeder you should spay the dog before before her first heat. Some vets will spay a dog during its first heat. This Estrus lasts between 4 - 8 days and signs include the discharge stopping, ovulation (the eggs are released) and pregnancy is possible. If the dog becomes pregnant the gestation time is 58-63 days. There are no visible signs until the last 3 weeks of pregnancy when the teats will enlarge, the belly will swell and finally the birth will occur.

The 3rd stage of the cycle is called Diestrus and lasts 6 - 10 weeks. Many hormonal changes take place and the uterine walls thicken. Dogs that haven't become pregnant go through 'false pregnancy' where their mammary glands may enlarge and produce milk. They may mother toys, moan or whine, prefer extra attention or extra solitude and will show no interest in mating. The last stage in the cycle is Anestrus and will last for 15 weeks. There won't be any hormonal activity, milk production, or interest in mating. If the dog had become pregnant the birth would have already occurred and the mother will be lactating and engaging in typical mothering behaviour until she is ready to wean her puppies.

Female Dog Period

Answer 3

PEOPLE!

pretty much only Mistresscris (who luckily got best answer) was completely right in her answer! most everybody else got it totally wrong, or somewhat wrong.

1st it is NOT a period.

the menstrual cycle is a human thing. it is when we are LEAST fertile, and are shedding the lining of the uterus that was made to provide cushioning IF we had become pregnant. the period means you did not become pregnant, and are therefore shedding this material, so that you can once again become ready to mate.

the dog (and horse, deer, and almost all other mammals) has a heat cycle, or Estrus cycle. this is when she is MOST fertile. this "heat" (it is called heat because the B*tches body temp is hotter then normal). as well, the blood it not the lining of anything, it is simply a sign to other dogs of her heat cycle. this heat happens in stages:

Proestrus. this is when she is NOT ready to mate but will smell like she is to male dogs. she will have a swollen vulva and a blood discharge (some dogs do not bleed, and the only way to tell your B*tch is in heat in some dogs is to measure the hormone progesterone in her system). this should last about 7 - 9 days depending on the dog and breed considerations.

Estrus: this is when she ovulates. she is ready to mate, so this stage is also called "standing heat". her bloody discharge will turn to straw yellow or a paler yellow. her vulva will change in texture a little bit. it will become softer, but it will be the same size. this should also last about 7 - 9 days or longer. Tip: male dogs will even chew through walls to get to a B*tch in heat. never leave a B*tch unattended for any amount of time, and keep all male dogs away.

Diestrus. this is when she is going out of heat. her vulva will slowly get smaller, and return to normal size, and she will have no interest in mating. there should be no discharge, other then the amount to make her vagina stay mucosal. it lasts 60 days or more. this is also the time when the hormones in her system have changed from Estrogen to progesterone which is the pregnancy hormone, and makes her brain think she is pregnant, but she does not act on it. so, one thing that Mistresscris was wrong about was false pregnancy. not all dogs do this, actually almost all dogs do NOT go into false pregnancy. this progesterone spike lasts about the time for gestation (around 63 days).

Anestrus: this is the resting period for dogs. there is no reproductive activity at this time. the cytology is totally non-cornified. the B*tch has zero interest in mating. this stage last about 4 months after every heat cycle, until she goes into heat again.

people like Stephanie T, and Ms. Roger Rabbit, Funschooling m, Sweet southern charm; dogs do not have a period, period. it is TOTALLY different. ovulation occurs before our periods, and for the dog a heat IS ovulation. this is people trying to humanize their dogs. they are dogs we are human. get over it.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://bitly.im/G4FXo

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Answer 5

As everyone else mentioned, a female dog's period is called in heat. She will have her first heat at about 6 to 7months of age depending on her breed. After her first heat cycle keep track of her next heat cycle. Many dogs are different. My female chihuahua's first went into heat when she's 7months then 4 months later her heat cycle beganed again and probably will go about every 4 months to a heat cycle. Make sure you keep track so you know exactly when she goes in heat if you plan to breed. But I don't recommend breeding unless she's 3+ years old so that she's emotionally ready and mature enough. The easiest thing to do is spay her if you don't plan on breeding, less stress for you and her [ if you have a male dog thats not neutered running around when she goes in heat... if they normally live and want nothing to do with each other, you'd be surprised how closely he follows the female around when she's in heat. =) ]. Also, dogs do bleed when her period comes... if she's an indoor dog, unless you can keep her either in a laundry type room with tile floors....i suggest getting doggie diapers at walmart they are $10 for a pack of 32. She will bleed and urinate on it so be sure to change her diaper. Unless you can keep her in a yard then she'll be fine. Good luck!

Answer 6

actually, female dogs do have menstrual cycles, and blood does come out. some dogs are very clean and are always cleaning themselves, some dogs go around dripping everywhere...those pamper thingys for dogs are good for that though you'll have to keep an eye on them so they don't poop in it.

each dog is different in their heat cycle....I believe they have it twice a year usually in spring and then in fall, or at least the female dogs we've had have had it twice a year. but most of the time it's in the spring.....something about the spring time!

Answer 7

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU0eX

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 8

It is called heat. Usually happens every six months. They are in heat for 3 weeks, and the time to breed is during the second week. They can start their heat cycles around 6 months, but can be a little earlier or later. Some of my dogs have come in heat the first time well over a year old.

If you are not going to breed your animal, it should be spayed.

Answer 9

I'm doing basic obedience right now. My trainer hasn't once handled my dog. He has shown me how to handle my dog by using his own dog but that's about it. The reasoning is that I need to learn how to do these basic corrections and what not myself. Learn more https://tinyurl.im/6wkKF

I have never considered sending my dog away for training. I guess I haven't found that much of a problem with him to even think about it.

Again, it may also have to do with the level of training you are looking for etc. No idea lol. I'm not a trainer. I think a first time dog owner needs to learn simple commands and how to handle their dog themselves as well.

Answer 10

They have a heat cycle. Unlike human females, who can be fertile at all times and able to participate in sexual intercourse, bitches (female dogs) have cycle that puts them into heat only so often, based on health, size and breed.

Their blood is more of a calling card as well as a cleaning process. They will only allow sexual intercourse, including penetration at this time. This is the only time they are fertile
