it is important not to try separating them at this point by any means, as this could cause damage. the mating process does not necessarily mean that fertilisation was successful; it may have taken place at a time when the bitch’s fertility had not yet reached its peak. equally, the sperm can survive in the uterus for up to seven days, so fertilisation may take place several days after mating. to increase the chances of a pregnancy occurring, mating is often carried out twice, with a two day interval between the attempts. some breeders also use a series of progesterone blood tests for their bitch, (which are available at most veterinary surgeries), to identify the optimum window of fertility for their bitch before taking her for mating. fertilisation gestation begins when the female’s ova (eggs) are fertilised by the male spermatozoa (sperm). the fertilised egg is the first component of a new living being! the embryos start off very high up in the uterus, but towards the end of the first week they migrate down towards the uterine horns. here they float around within the uterine liquid. 2 maintenance when your dog’s heat has come to an end you may groom her as usual. the embryos are well protected in the uterus and gentle grooming (avoiding any stress) should not cause any concerns. find out more about grooming . during this initial phase of gestation (from mating until around day 35) the goal is to maintain your dog’s ideal weight. early weight gain is not recommended for optimal health. weight gain during the first 42 days should not exceed 10% of the ideal weight. your dog’s energy requirements remain stable at this point, the embryos do not develop greatly (in terms of their size) and no nutritional change is required, unless recommended by your vet. if the bitch is being fed an appropriate, balanced and complete diet no vitamin or mineral supplements are required during gestation (unless your vet has specifically prescribed otherwise). 3 nidation the embryos become embedded in the uterine lining where they will subsequently develop. they will be progressively enveloped in a protective membrane that provides them with the necessary supply of nutrients. 4 confirm gestation (pregnancy) visit your vet around day 25, as they can perform an ultrasound to establish a reliable diagnosis of pregnancy. this will give you some idea of the size of the litter (although detecting exact numbers is often not possible), as well as potentially detecting any abnormalities. alternatively, your vet can also diagnose gestation by doing a blood test to determine the level of relaxin, a hormone only created by the placenta. whichever method your vet chooses, it is very useful to confirm your dog’s pregnancy as early as possible in order to properly monitor her condition. 5 foetal stage day 35 marks the end of embryogenesis (the first phase of gestation). the organs are now all beginning to form, and we now refer to the embryo as a foetus. during this foetal phase (and in particular from the 40th day onwards) the foetus’ weight will increase by around 75%. 6 the turning point from day 42 the pace changes, as your bitch enters the third and final phase of gestation. the foetus is developing fast now. claws will be developing, the skeleton begins to solidify, and the foetus will gain weight rapidly. as a result, your dog’s nutritional requirements will change, as she now requires a diet with higher energy, protein and mineral content. it may seem contradictory, but you may well observe a drop in her appetite as her distended abdomen may make eating normal meals harder for her. getting her to eat the right food is essential and offering her several smaller meals throughout the day, instead of 2 larger meals, may also help if you find she is not eating enough to maintain a good body condition. royal canin® has a range of diets specifically developed for optimal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation. depending on the size of your dog’s breed you may choose mini starter, medium starter, maxi starter or giant starter. starter mousse is also available. palatable, high in energy content and very digestible, starter and starter mousse have been designed as a solution to all of her increasing needs during gestation. remember to transition gradually (over at least 5 days) from one food to the next to minimise the likelihood of any digestive upsets. mini starter mother & babydog medium starter mother & babydog maxi starter mother & babydog giant starter mother & babydog 7 hair by day 45 the foetus’ first hairs will start to appear, and the skeleton begins to ossify (solidify). the coat and bones are some of the last areas to develop. worming parasites are a concern, as they have the potential to infect the puppies at birth. it is therefore essential to make an appointment with your vet to have your bitch wormed. the vet will advise you on which product to use. prepare for whelping to avoid being caught by surprise, start preparing the place for your bitch to whelp as early as you can. the chosen place must be quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle of the household. don’t forget that the room must be kept warm, as newborns need heat. the floor must be easy to clean. the mother and pups will need to use this place for a few weeks, well away from any excitement so as not to disturb suckling. 8 x-ray around day 50 the foetus’ skeleton will have ossified, so you may choose to ask your vet whether they feel it is necessary to perform an x-ray. in many cases, an x-ray will confirm the number of foetuses; so when it comes to whelping this will reassure you that all puppies have been delivered. some vets may not feel an x-ray is necessary, however. check the bedding check that you have enough linen to change the bedding in the whelping area regularly. linen must be completely dry when you use it. make sure
