Although dogs come in an extremely wide range of shapes and sizes, the gestation period from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane is within the same sort of time frame.
Most dogs are pregnant for between 58 days and 64 days.
The due date varies slightly depending on the breed and size of dog as well as the size of the litter she is carrying, but vast majority of dogs will give birth on the 63rd day.
If you know the date your female dog mated, you can count 63 days from that date
and be fairly accurate in placing the date she will give birth. It is best to have a special bed set up for her to give birth from around two weeks before the due date.
Although some dogs give birth earlier than 63 days, puppies that are born earlier than 58 days will unfortunately either be still-born or will die within the first couple of days.
This is because their lungs are the last part of the body to develop, and this happens in those last few days. Day 58 is the earliest a puppy can be born and survive.
Although by 58 days the lungs have still not fully developed completely, they are developed enough to just start working and for the puppy to have a chance at survival.
Puppies that are born prematurely will have bright pink paws with no fur on them. It is wise to seek the advice of your vet if this is your first litter. If you don’t know the date your dog mated, you could use the last time she was on heat as a guide.
