WHELPING CHART

• HOW TO USE CHART •

Find the Month & Date on which your bitch was bred in the appropriate "Bred-Month" column. Directly below that date, is the expected whelping date or "Due-Month" for a 64 day pregnancy. Remember though, that bitches can whelp normally as early as day 57. If you suspect that your bitch is having a complication call your Veterinarian immediately. Taking her temperature twice daily is a very good guide to the onset of labor.
