Once pregnancy occurs, there are differences between cats and dogs:

In the case of cats , pregnancy usually lasts between 60 and 70 days , but it varies depending on the breed. The main symptom that your cat is pregnant is that her breasts are swollen and slightly red in color. They also usually experience changes in character, or even morning vomiting, and it is approximately in the fifth week of pregnancy when you will be able to see that their belly is bulging.

When the cat's pregnancy period is coming to an end, it is common for her to be upset, for her meows to be louder and more frequent, and even for her to reduce her food intake. It is essential that you always have it available, along with fresh water to avoid dehydration. It is important that the food you provide at this stage is special for pregnant cats , such as Fitmin Purity Kitten .

When the time of birth arrives, the cat will look for a place in the house where she is safe and comfortable . Don't be scared if, once the birth occurs, the cat is unfriendly towards the family. Although she loves you and knows you, the maternal instinct is so strong that she cannot help it. Give it time and everything will return to normal.

In the case of dogs , pregnancy usually lasts about 2 months . In the first stage of pregnancy, you will be able to observe the color change of your breasts towards a deep pink, along with their swelling. Also in an early stage of pregnancy, the dog may have secretions of transparent or very light pink liquid. As with cats, they may experience character changes and you may notice that they sleep more than usual.

It is from the first month of pregnancy when you will be able to notice your bulging belly and you may even experience stomach discomfort with vomiting. In this aspect, it is very important to take care of their diet , with foods specifically designed for this stage of their life, such as Dibaq Sense Salmon and Turkey , which contains all the nutrients they need.

When the time of delivery approaches, it is advisable to leave the dog alone , as she herself will look for the place where she is most comfortable to give birth.

Whether you have a pregnant dog or kitten, it is important that you have the emergency veterinarian 's phone number on hand because, although in most cases the delivery proceeds normally, you have to be prepared for a possible complication.
