There is a male and a female dog in my house. One belongs to my daughter, another came to my door by itself 6 months ago. I can not picture puppies from them but they are in heat now. I am looking for solutions. Please help.

Since you won't spay and neuter, you're going to have a problem. The male is going to start marking territory in your house, he'll whine and bark and howl (so will the female when she's ready to be bred). You have to keep them totally separated so they can't even see each other for the whole 3 weeks. Just be prepared for a stressful time.

There really is no next best thing to spay or neuter. In about all communities in the USA there are low cost spay and neuter clinic's available to you. Please do that, there are far too many unwanted puppies born. There are far more put down than have happy homes. Your dog will also have a healthier, happier, longer life if she isn't constantly having puppies and the boy dog will live longer not running the road's finding that female in heat or .getting lost forever or being hit by a auto. Please be a responsible pet owner and get your doggies spated and neutered. Good luck.

unless you are a professional breeder, there is no "next best thing" besides getting your dogs spayed and neutered. it gives them a longer, healthier life on top of many other benefits such as having litters and litters of unwanted puppies.

there are low cost spay and neuter clinics in most towns .. check with your local humane society. the cost would probably range from about $30 for the female and $15 for the male but i'm sure it varies from state to state. that is the most responsible and loving thing you can do for them.

If you are keeping the male dog, the best thing to do with him is neuter him. It's cheaper than the female, and you will have a much better family dog who won't run. For now, seperate them by one outside (male) and one inside, otherwise you will have a mean male on your hands. Good Luck.

If you don't want puppies, pay the money and have them fixed. Some people have given hormone shots to female cats and dogs (depo provera) but that requires keeping on schedule and can have effects on the personality of the animal. In the long run paying for surgery will be cheaper than dealing with puppies and/or more complicated alternatives.

KEEP THEM SEPRATED dogs don't pollinate by air ya know. Perferadly two barriers between them to advoid accidents (especally with children in the house). At one point in my life I had an intact female & an intact male & a ditsy housemate relative who could be counted on to put the two togher, the female had a padlock on her crate door while she was in heat so only I could let her out. It's lots eaisier to spay /neuter but in the meanwhile....

Ps antimating sprays & doggie dipers are not proof alone (it sometimess tought to keep them on the female) SOLID barriers are needed.

that's a valid question and one you're probably drained of listening to. Why do you no longer spey and neuter? except you recommend on breeding there is not any longer a lot aspect in holding the reproductive capibility. it truly is an invitation for hassle and attainable undesirable doggies (no longer declaring that you do not want them, yet searching houses for doggies is (regrettably) not straightforward to do). That aside, the comprehensive concern is truly humorous. i don't know if there's a lot you may want to do to get the scent off because although in case you do get all of it the way off your son, your dogs has now heavily linked that fragrance with your son and may attempt to do it back, reguardless if the scent remains there or no longer. proper you may want to do is tell him to position off and shoo him away every time he tried the humpping action back.

Defineately alter them.Other than that keep them seperated until you can get to the vet.
Make sure they get plenty of exercise.
Put your male in the car and take him somewhere he can RUN to burn off all his excess energy.Wear him out and he'll go hoome and sleep rather than try to mate.Not that he still won't try if the opportunity presents itself.

if you don't want to 'fix' them right now, you can buy doggie diapers at the pet store. I think that oudda do it. The pet store might even have something even fancier for the male dog to wear, but I'd get the diapers.

I seem to remember something called anti mating spray that is supposed to discourage mating in these situations.
