Sort of. But instead of calling it their period, its called when they go into heat. Haha, no they don't make doggy pads or tampons, but you can get them doggy diapers so you don't have a big mess.
Spay your dog!!!
Spay your dog!!!

- It's called "heat". It's a fertile period, and there's a bloody discharge. It lasts about 3 weeks, 2 or 3 times a year.
Some dogs will have a "hysteric pregnancy" following a heat -- hormonally, they are pregnant but aren't actually carrying any puppies. After about 6 weeks (when the dog would have given birth if she had actually gotten pregnant), the dog can go through a nesting phase. This is the only time I ever saw mine dig holes in the yard. - Female dogs don't have periods. They have a different sort of reproductive cycle than we do called an estrous cycle (we have a menstrual cycle, therefore we menstruate). If your dog is not spayed and is bleeding in that area she's probably in heat (a good reason to keep her supervised and on lead because she can be mated and impregnated by other dogs when she's in heat). If you don't want to worry about cleaning up blood, I'd suggest getting her spayed.
- It's not a period like people have, but part of the heat cycle. Female dogs will show a bloody discharge, which is rather pungent, to help attract the males.
There are doggy diapers you can let her wear during this time to keep stains from your carpets and/or furniture, but the easiest way to prevent this is to just get her spayed. - Yes, but its not exactly a period. Female dogs go into heat. They go in to heat about once every six months and the heat can last for about 3 weeks. So Yea dogs do have their periods but only once every six month. I hope i helped. And when the dog goes into heat. BOii will u have alot of cleaning to do.
- Girl dogs go into heat occasionally, I don't know exactly how often, but when they are in their heat, they have periods. They do wear doggie pads, only they are diapers made especially for the dog with little leg and tail holes and everything.
- Girl animals essentially all have "periods" but not always in the same way. They go into heat, a time when they are fertile and ready to mate. For dogs, they do have noticible blood, and they make doggy diapers for them to wear. They also get moody.
- yes girl dogs have periods, its wants known as coming into season..and when you start having a load of dogs howling outside,keep the poor thing in unless you want her gang rapped or have babies...be a caring adult and get her speyed as soon as possible...and not all dogs show signs of blood..
- yes i have a dog and she has a period every six months
they have there periods because they are ready to breed with another dog and have pups
girl dogs can't wear tampons, but you they should have doggie pads
the period last for about a week
hope that anwser your question - Kind of. When they go into heat they bleed a bit which is why i will never get a female dog, it's gross. My friend had a dog which did that and there would be blood splats all around. But she was old and they normally dont bleed so much.
Jxx - yes. But it's called "in heat." male dogs go wild for the smell of it. So you are better off keepin her on a lead, or indoors.
- HIYA, YEP GIRL DOGS CERTAINLY DO HAVE PERIODS, ITS CALLED COMING INTO SEASON, IF THEY DIDNT THEY WOULD'NT BE ABLE TO GET PREGNANT. KEEP HER AWAY FROM BOY DOGS WHEN THIS HAPPENS !
- I'm not an expert or anything but they do get their periods. It's called heat.
They are just kept in a kennel with lots of towels while it passes. -
- It's not really a preid , it's when they go into heat which is like every six months . doggie tamopns ..lol.... no the only thing is to have her spayed ...
- they go into heat. you can get them diapers to wear, but i think they look stupid
- I swear they do
my friend has a dog
and she talks about her dog being on her period lol
quite funny really lol xD - No. If they are not fixed up they will go into heat and blood will appear at their opening.
- They have a heat roughly every six months with bloody discharge. Get her speyed, or she will get pregnant.
- Yes they do. You can put an old sheet in a dog basket and they lay on that.
- No, but they go into heat which causes bleeding.
