False pregnancy in dogs is definitely not the most common condition, but it certainly makes for an interesting read. Many pet parents will not have experienced this with their dogs and many will not have even heard of such a strange condition. It’s a little different from our popular conditions’ questions, but it can certainly happen and we’re here to help!
What is a False Pregnancy In Dogs?
A false pregnancy refers to when a female dog’s body prepares for carrying puppies even though she is not pregnant.
A false/pseudo or phantom pregnancy refers to when a female dog’s body prepares for carrying puppies even though she is not pregnant. They will show all the symptoms and maternal signs of pregnancy including milk production. It is generally a condition seen in unneutered female dogs.
After every heat/season, the female dog’s body will experience hormonal changes which can be a cause for these false pregnancies, even if they have not mated. It is interesting to note that, in the wild, dogs live in larger groups. When one female becomes pregnant, often the other females in the group will also help with the nursing of the young pups. Therefore, these other females will have to carry milk to be able to care for the little ones. This may be the main reason why our domesticated dogs can experience this condition.
Signs and Symptoms of a False Pregnancy
The signs of false pregnancy in dogs can begin 9 weeks after their last heat and can last from a week up to a month. The mammary glands may become enlarged and there may or may not be a production of milk. It can also cause them to vomit and retain fluid in the body. Another sign associated with this condition is the decrease of appetite, which may not result in any weight loss because of the body retaining fluid.
False pregnancies will only occur in females that have not been spayed and can occur at any stage of their lives. They may experience only some of the symptoms and not all. Some other common symptoms include:
- Nesting
- Maternal nature
- False labor
- Little to no interest in exercise
- More protective of toys
- Restlessness
- Lethargy
- Swollen stomach
Why Do False Pregnancies in Dogs Happen?
After the estrus cycle of the heat, the ovaries will begin to produce hormones (progesterone decreases causing the production of prolactin) whether they are pregnant or not. These hormones are what prepare the uterus for carrying puppies so if the dog is, in fact, pregnant she will continue to produce these hormones right up until the puppies are born. If she is not pregnant the hormone levels will decrease.
Natural Support
A false pregnancy would not be a condition that requires urgent treatment. Most times it will not require any treatment at all. It will usually ease up on its own after approximately 14-21 days. The only time that a false pregnancy would require medical prevention, is when your dog is showing other symptoms of feeling unwell. Some pet owners will administer treatment to help calm any anxiety or restlessness that the dog might be experiencing.
The only way of preventing a false pregnancy is to have your dog spayed. If you are considering spaying your pup after a pseudopregnancy, it is best to wait until all the symptoms have cleared. If a dog is neutered while still presenting with the symptoms, the symptoms may still persist for another couple of weeks after the surgery.
The supplements our pet experts recommend are:
- Lesstress – If your pooch is experiencing anxiety, restlessness, or showing aggression, Lesstress may help with calming. It acts on the nervous system by easing anxiety levels. It can also help with reducing hyperactivity, excitability, and destructive behavior while supporting the immune system.
- Yucca – If your pooch’s appetite has decreased, Yucca can act as an excellent appetite stimulant. It also contains many great nutritive properties such as vitamins C and B, magnesium, iron, calcium, protein, and beta-carotene.
If you have any other questions about ways you can support your dog naturally, reach out to our pet experts. We’re always happy to help!

- Support for inflamed muscles and joints in dogs

- May stimulate and improve appetite
- Helps with digestion
Yucca root is widely used in dog food as well as in other pet foods. It is an herb that is highly nutritive as it is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and Smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols), which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal-saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca may also be effective as an appetite booster in dogs and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some dogs.

Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
- Working dogs that are pushed too hard
- Flying on a plane
- Special events (eg. fireworks)
- Staying in a shelter
- The loss of an owner
- The loss or addition of a furry playmate
- Going to a new home
- Moving
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.
