If you've opted to not have your dog spayed, it's important to understand how her heat cycle works. The first 10-14 days is period BEFORE ovulation and this is time during which she will bleed. Ovulation occurs as bleeding stops so it's important to understand that it's during 10-14 days following bleeding that she's actually most likely to become pregnant. Far too many owners make mistake of believing that their female dog is safe once bleeding stops and over-filled dog pounds are sad result.

Doggie diapers are available in most pet stores and come in a range of sizes to fit different breeds. These are designed to stop dog leaving blood on your furniture and rugs but unfortunately, unless dog has been taught to accept wearing them from a very young age, most will soon chew them off.

Female dog owners who choose not to have their dog spayed MUST monitor their dog regularly for any lumps in breasts and remember that unless they're serious about breeding, they have a duty to ensure that their dog doesn't produce unwanted puppies who will eventually find themselves sitting in a pound waiting for their death sentence to be passed.

Accessories:

Always be sure to include appropriate toys and treats in crate. This will keep your dog occupied and prevent your teething puppy from chewing on crate's metal bars. It is also important to purchase crate bedding. A crate cover is great for lowering number of outside distractions your dog sees, which can reduce barking and stress in crate. A crate pad will be more comfortable than crate's plastic pan. Finally, a bumper like one included in Pet Dreams Cratewear will help protect your puppy from injuries caused by chewing or leaning against crate's metal bars.
