Pet Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

Calculate due date and pregnancy timeline for dogs and cats based on breeding date.

How This Tool Works

This pet pregnancy due date calculator estimates the expected delivery date for dogs and cats based on the breeding date. Dogs typically have a 63-day gestation period (with a normal range of 58-68 days), while cats have a 63-65 day period (with a range of 58-67 days). The calculator adds the appropriate gestation period to the breeding date to determine the due date and calculates days remaining until delivery.

The tool also provides a comprehensive pregnancy timeline showing key development milestones throughout the gestation period, helping you track fetal development stages and prepare for the birth. This information is essential for proper prenatal care, veterinary visits, and preparation for the arrival of puppies or kittens. Always consult with your veterinarian for accurate monitoring and care throughout the pregnancy.
