to keep them from making puppies. There are health benefits for your dogs outside of not having puppies for spaying and neutering your dogs as well. Until they are spayed and neutered, you will want to keep a close eye on them to ensure they are not mating.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-can-i-stop-my-female-dog-from-getting\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_stop_my_female_dog_from_getting_pregnant\"><\/span>How can I stop my female dog from getting pregnant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first option is spaying during pregnancy. Spaying is a process in which the dog\u2019s ovaries and uterus are surgically removed. Spaying can take place early in the pregnancy and the cluster of cells developing into puppies can be removed as well.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-can-i-give-my-dog-to-stop-pregnancy\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_give_my_dog_to_stop_pregnancy\"><\/span>What can I give my dog to stop pregnancy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mifepristone (RU486): This well-known drug acts as a progesterone antagonist.

Many vets suggest that dogs of normal health should be retired from breeding around 8 years old. The strictest standard to retire a dog from breeding is 5 years of age. Consult your vet when considering breeding a dog older than 5 years old.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"do-dogs-get-pregnant-every-time-they-tie\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_dogs_get_pregnant_every_time_they_tie\"><\/span>Do dogs get pregnant every time they tie?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is important to note that pregnancy can occur without a \u201ctie\u201d.
