Dog pregnancy calculator
Enter the date your dam was bred and we'll estimate her whelping due date along with the checkpoints most breeders plan around. Canine gestation averages 63 days from breeding, with normal whelping falling roughly between day 58 and day 68.
How long are dogs pregnant?
Most dogs whelp 63 days after ovulation, but because a bitch can conceive from matings several days apart, the date counted from a single breeding can be off by up to a week. Progesterone testing pinpoints ovulation and gives the most reliable due date — if you have progesterone results, count 63 days from the ovulation day rather than the mating.
