Can You Hear The Puppies Heart Beat With A Regular Stethoscope?

It is possible to test for the heartbeat of puppies using a regular stethoscope. It can take some skill and determination but should be achievable. It is important to wait until 6 weeks after a bitch becomes pregnant before attempting to hear the sound of the heartbeat. Before this time the heart would be too weak to create a great enough beat to be heard. Even after this period it can be difficult. The sound that should be listened for is reportedly like a soft and fast ticking. It can be possible to hear more than one heartbeat, which would indicate multiple puppies.
     There are other methods of detecting a pregnancy that can be used at home or that would require the help of a vet. It can be possible to detect movement of the foetuses in the last 10 to 14 days before whelping. Whelping is the period of labour in dogs. Palpation can also be used to detect puppies. Palpation is simply a physical examination where something is felt. Vets can do this examination but they have to wait until day 26-35 of the pregnancy. It is possible for a dog owner to do this themselves. To do this one hand is placed under the dog, on the abdomen, and another is placed on the side of the dog just below her ribs. The hands are then gently squeezed together to feel for small, hard objects that are shaped like golf balls. These balls are the puppies. With some practice it is possible to ascertain how many puppies there are. Perhaps one of the clearest ways to identify puppies is through an x-ray, which a vet can do, normally after the 8th week since breeding.

Yes you can hear fetal heart beats starting in the 6th or 7th week. You can use a stethoscope but it has to be very quiet in the room, no other noise. The heart beats sound like tic tic tic tic very fast. Usually the best place on the belly is on the side next to the nipples. Good luck

If the mother is big enough that the puppies are going to be also big, you can hear the heartbeats shortly before the bitch delivers.  With a stethoscope.  We could on my German Shepard, about 2 weeks before delivery.

No- but you can hear heartbeats with a stethoscope.  You can also place your hand on the dogs belly and feel them move depending on how far along she is.

Yes you should listen for mums 1st (at front left paw) you should b able to tell the difference as the pups heart races so much faster

Yes you can you can hear like a fast tic tic tic but it does have to be in late pregnancy ie 7 weeks +

Yes...but...it has to be far enough along in the pregnancy...usally around 7 to 8 weeks

My bitch is 68 days pregnant took her vets on the 67th day they said if she has not had them by the 69th day she will have to go in can you tell me if the pups are dead in side her would she be producing milk and what would the signs be if they are dead

Yupp.

I would think to be positive that you would need to take to the vet to x-ray and see if there is any heartbeat.

Yes you can hear heartbeat of kittens after 20 days of pregnancy but not with routine Stethoscope. A special Stethoscope which is used for the fetal heartbeat measurement can be used. You can also hear heartbeat with ultrasound.

I can NEVER hear the puppies inside of the mother's stomach
Puppies are NEVER in a mother's stomach.    Food is in the mother's stomach after she eats.
Puppies start out in the mother's womb.    Both the womb and the stomach are located in the
mother's abdomen.   Seesee
