Pug Gestation

Common Pug Gestation Questions

How long is the pug's gestation period?

A pug's gestation period is 61 to 65 days.  The average length is 63 days.  This first day of gestation is counted as the first day of breeding, even though the pug may not get pregnant until the 2nd or 3rd breeding.

What is the average number of pugs in a litter?

Pugs have small litters, and depending on the age of the mother can vary from 2 to 6.

What are some signs of a pregnant pug?

Some signs that your pug may be pregnant include:

Increased abdominal size

Increase appetite

Nesting behavior

Mammary gland development

 It can be hard to determine if you pug is pregnant during the first half of the pregnancy because the physical signs are very subtle, and even most veterinarians can't tell either the first several weeks.
