How It Works
Canine gestation is 63 days from ovulation — approximately 58-68 days from mating. First-time mothers (primiparous) have the same gestation length as experienced dams. The only meaningful difference is that first-time dams may take longer during whelping and benefit from closer monitoring.
Veterinary Research
Every formula is derived from peer-reviewed veterinary studies and clinical guidelines, not guesswork or generic rules.
