Question

Can I get a pill to stop my female dog from getting pregnant

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

There isn't a pill to stop a dog from getting pregnant, but if you are afraid she is pregnant and she isn't too far along, the vet can give her a shot of estrogen, dexamethasone, or prostaglandin F2 alpha to induce abortion. These shot has to be given shortly after mating in order for it to be effective. You have to discuss with your vet if they feel comfortable giving her one of these shots., and the vet is the only one who can give it to her. The best way to keep your dog from getting pregnant, however, is to have her spayed.
