Uterine contraction in dogs start during the first stages of labor, which is characterized by restlessness and pacing.

  • This stage can last for anything between six and twenty-four hours.
  • After this period, the first puppy is born.
Pregnancy in dogs can be very complicated and at times rather dangerous to your pet.

Make sure you have a vet on stand-by and that your pregnant dog has had regular check-ups. This should help prevent complications, or your dog picking up any life-threatening infections during this vulnerable period. Don't go for delivery at home if you are not professional and experienced.
