How long do female dogs have their period?

Answer 1

The estrus cycle lasts on average 12-21 days, but maybe be as short as a few days to four weeks..

There are four stages to the canine estrus cycle:

Proestrus: vaginal discharge, males attracted to females, females unwilling to mate. Length: 4-20 days.

Estrus: swollen v***a, yellowish vaginal discharge, mating occurs during this phase. Length: 5-13 days.

Metestrus (or Diestrus): period after estrus or mating. Length: 60-90 days. If pregnant, pregnancy lasts between 60-64 days in the dog.

Anestrus: period of inactivity (sexual and hormonal) between estrus phases. Length: 2-3 months.

Answer 5

Dogs don't have periods.

They're in heat for about 3 weeks.

Answer 6

They have an heat (season).

It lasts for 3 weeks, give or take a day either way.

They can get a little moody and go off their food just before the heat starts.

The v***a will swell and you will start to notice small drops of blood on the floor and on her bedding. The blood will be bright red but change to a straw colour when the heat is nearing its end.

It is important to supervise her at all times when around boy dogs to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.

The heats will continue around every 6 months unless she is spayed when obviously they will end.

Answer 7

Dogs do not have periods! Females go into Heat! It lasts for 3 weeks! Keep your female far away from males and alway's supervise her when she is outside, until she comes out of heat. A male can smell and unfixed female in heat, from 5 miles away and will do anything it takes, to get to her and get her pregnant! Talk to your vet please, about the best time to have your dog Spayed!
