I’m Pregnant. Can my dog ​​feel jealous?

Are you pregnant and noticed that your dog is different? Calm down, the puppy is probably feeling it jealousy🇧🇷 During pregnancy, you need to pay extra attention to your dog and try to show him that, despite having to share time with the baby that will arrive, you will not abandon him. Trust me, he understands!

Veterinarian Marcos Eduardo Fernandes indicates some little secrets to ease the changes. One of them is whenever you have a little time, call the dog, sit on a couch, caress him and induce him to smell your belly. “His extremely sensitive ears will perceive that inside you, something is alive”, says the expert.

Another tip is to try to make a big effort not to change the dog’s routine. If you can’t continue walking the dog now, get someone else to take him, but don’t let him stop walking. Ask friends to come visit him, so that he still feels the center of attention. Don’t forget to pet the dog as often as possible. Reaffirm that you like him.

When the baby is born, put the child’s clothes on for the dog to smell and introduce the baby to him, but without letting them have direct contact, of course. If, even so, the animal becomes depressed or jealous of the baby, look for a homeopathic veterinarian to minimize the effects of the stress to which the animal is being submitted.
