How to tell if my pregnant dog is about to go into labor soon?

Question

How do I check my female German Shepherd who is pregnant and is in her final week to see if she's going into labour? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | 2 years and 10 months old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

The best way to get an idea of when she will give birth is to take her temperature rectally twice a day. A dog's normal temperature is between 101-102.5F. Once it drops below 100F, she will give birth to puppies in 24 hours.
