To tell how far along your dog is, look for signs like enlargement of the abdomen, increase in appetite, and nesting behavior.

These tests can give you a precise estimate of how far along your dog is and the expected delivery date. Regular vet check-ups ensure the health and well-being of both your dog and her puppies.
