The solution to these problems is very simple, so it is only to satisfy the instincts of our mascot with the different alternatives that are available on the market. We try to simulate their natural habitat in our house for the welfare of the animal and prevent damage to our furniture.

Usually the dog will try to be herself before giving birth, so if you see a behavior on your part is elusive because it is looking for a quiet place for the birth of their pups.

The delivery may take several hours depending on the number of children you have. It is important to pay attention to the birth to see if there are any problems, and it is good to have a vet nearby to verify that all is well. The birth may have problems and so we have to see if the bitch and puppies force does not go, if you lose a lot of blood or if we see a character in her face dejected.
