How long are dogs in heat?
Ever wondered why your furry friend suddenly becomes the center of attention for every male dog on the block? Well, she’s probably in heat! This is a crucial time for any dog owner to understand. The heat cycle, also known as estrus, is when a female dog is fertile and can get pregnant. Typically, this cycle happens twice a year, but it can vary. Smaller breeds may go into heat more frequently, sometimes three times a year, while larger breeds might only have one cycle annually. So, keep your breed in mind; it plays a big part in the timing!
