Estrus, is a natural physiological phenomenon in females. This period in a dog's life is associated with the sexual cycle and includes a number of changes in its behavior and physiology. Let's take a look at the details and important aspects of estrus in dogs.
Estrus is the period when a female is ready to breed and has the possibility of conception. She can attract males, and her physiological state is ready to accept a male for mating. Estrus occurs approximately every 6-8 months, but this interval can be individual for each female. The first estrus usually occurs between 6 and 24 months of age, depending on the breed.
Preestrus: the phase before estrus, when the female becomes more attractive to males, but is not yet ready to mate.
Estrus: an active period of flow when a female can receive males.
Diestrus: the period after the estrus, when the female recovers and prepares for a new cycle.
Estrus can last from 9 to 21 days, on average 13-15 days. The duration of other phases of the flow can also vary.
Signs of estrus:
The female may become more interested in interacting with males.
Swelling and changes in the coat may occur.
The female may show signs of readiness for mating.
Changes in dog temperament: Females may become more territorial or irritable during estrus. Therefore, during this period, the owner of the female should limit communication not only with males, but also with female.
The female may try to run away trying to find a male to mate with. It is worth following the dog very carefully during this period, walks should be !exclusively! on a leash and with restrictions on communication with other dogs.
If you do not intend to breed your dog, sterilization may be an option to control estrus and avoid unwanted pregnancies. Also, sterilization has a good effect on health and reduces the risk of catching diseases related to the genital organs.
During estrus, it is important to follow the rules of hygiene, using special pads for females.
