My pregnant dog has these signs. How far along is her pregnancy?

Question

My pregnant dog is exhibiting the following signs. Loss in appetite Swollen teats but not leaking Overly affectionate Lays on her side sprawled out Occasionally pants due to hot flashes Sleeps most of the day Swollen abdomen but not overly so And I cannot feel puppies moving but her belly is firm How far along would be your best guess? She was mated middle of October. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 40 lbs

If she was mated the middle of August, say on the 15th, then she would now be around 40 days pregnant. This is now the time when the puppies are starting to grow and gain weight. This also means that your dog needs to be fed a good quality puppy food to provide enough nutrition for the puppies' growth. Average gestation is 63 to 65 days, so likely she will have her puppies in three to four weeks.
