Pregnancy Due Date Calculator
Calculate your pet's pregnancy due date and track development timeline
How Pregnancy Due Date Calculator Works
Our pregnancy due date calculator calculates your pet's due date based on the breeding date and pet type. Dogs typically have a gestation period of 58-68 days (average 63 days), while cats typically have a gestation period of 63-67 days (average 65 days). The tool provides a week-by-week development timeline, showing fetal development stages and care recommendations for each week of pregnancy.
Understanding Pet Pregnancy
Pet pregnancy requires careful monitoring and proper care. Pregnant pets need gradual increases in food starting week 5-6, a quiet nesting area, limited strenuous exercise in later stages, and regular veterinary checkups. It's important to track the breeding date accurately and monitor for signs of complications. Always consult your veterinarian for proper prenatal care and emergency contact information.
