Frequently asked questions

Why is the dog gestation length fixed at 63 days when I've heard it varies? 63 days is the commonly cited average for dogs, but actual gestation can range roughly from 58 to 68 days depending on the breed and individual, so the calculated due date is an estimate rather than a guarantee.

Does the breeding date need to be the exact conception date? Ideally yes, since the species' average gestation length is counted from fertilization, but breeding date is commonly used as a close approximation because the exact moment of conception is rarely known.
