Can you use a stethoscope to hear a puppies heartbeat at six weeks into pregnancy. Can you use a stethoscope at all to hear puppies??

Hi and thanks for posting. Yes, at six weeks into pregnancy, you may be able to detect the fetal heart beats but may not be able to distinguish between individual puppy heart beats. I hope this helps!
