What is a Pregnancy Ultrasound?
A pregnancy ultrasound is a diagnostic tool used by veterinarians to confirm and monitor pregnancy in dogs. It can detect fetal heartbeats and determine litter size from around 25 days of gestation.
Why Ultrasounds Are Important in Dog Breeding
Ultrasounds provide information about the health and development of the puppies. They help breeders plan for whelping and identify any potential complications early.
How Pregnancy Ultrasounds Work
A veterinarian applies gel to the dam’s abdomen and uses an ultrasound probe to create real-time images of the developing puppies. The procedure is safe and non-invasive.
