Is my dog's 65-day pregnancy normal? Why is she nesting with toys?

Question

My female dog is 65 days into her pregnancy. I thought it was up to 62 days. She has some stuffed animals and is handling them as they were puppies is this normal?

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

The average gestation period for dogs is between and 62 and 65 days. That is average; there are going to be dogs that have them a bit sooner or a bit later. I would not be worried about this. It is normal for a pregnant dog (or even a dog with false pregnancy) to handle stuffed toys like they were puppies.
