My pregnant dog is sleeping a lot. Is she in labor or should I worry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 54 lbs

My dog is pregnant. 47 days since breeding. She is seemingly going into labor but no panting or pacing. This is her first litter. She is sleeping a lot and breathing not heavy but deeply. Should I be concerned?

If Bull is not acting right and pregnant, I would recommend bringing her to a veterinarian. I would have them evaluate her to make sure she is ok and also check on the puppies. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
