Does a pregnancy test work on a dog ?

Question

i think my miniature daschunds maybe in pup she would be 32 days gone my vet confimed today that her uterus was swollen but didn't think it was a big litter but that this could also be something else as they are meant to feel like a row of pearls but he could just feel a swelling

Answer 1

Yes a pregnancy test would work for a dog. All pregnancy tests search for the same hormone. So you should be able to tell by using an over the counter test.  

Answer 2

Pregnancy tests look for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin. Which implies it is only for humans. Out of curiosity however, I looked it up  and all the sources I've read say no.

Cheers

Answer 3

Human pregnancy tests do not work with a dog.  Human tests for a different hormone than what dogs produce while pregnant.  

When you were at the vets why didn't you have a blood test done?  Then the vet and you would have known if she was pregnant or not.

You can bring her back in 2 weeks and have a ultra sound done this way you will be able to know for sure.  

Answer 4

well when I took my miniature dachshund for a pregnancy test they said that they could feel some abnormality in her uterus. They said that she could be pregnant or it could be a phantom pregnancy. (Dachshunds are really good at having phantom pregnancies for some reason.) I know now that my dog is pregnant because I can feel bones and heads and hearbeats now. They are due in 22 more days which is exciting. Whatever happens, best of luck!

Answer 5

She is half way through gestation is 63 days you can get an xray done now she is past 7 weeks and the puppies bones have calcified enough to show on xray .  

Answer 6

i don't think they will work on dog.good look trying to do it.

Answer 7

32 days is long enough for a ultrasound.

Since dogs are homonally pregnant after EVERY heat, there is no easy hormone test. Testing for relaxin hormone is advaliable but it accuracy at this time is problematic..

Human early pregnancy tests do NOT work
