My dog in heat just mated. How likely is she to be pregnant?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 35 lbs

Hi! I have a two year old dog, she is mixed with husky, lab and chow. I’m sure she had her first time today because my mom saw them, she is also in heat. There was spit all over our front porch, she came in licking her area and whining, what are the chances of her getting pregnant?

If your mom saw Esme in the act of mating with a male dog, then it's very likely she will become pregnant. You should either prepare for puppies in about 60 days, or consider having her spayed now if you didn't intend to breed her.
