If you are sure you never want your dog to have puppies, then you may be best served by having her spayed. Spaying involves surgically removing your dog's uterus and reproductive organs. It is a permanent solution that cannot be reversed. Spaying can also help to reduce your pup's risk of mammary tumors and pyometra, which is a life-threatening infection that occurs within the uterus. If you are not ready to say you never want your furry friend to have puppies, spaying is out of the question at this point in time. Fortunately, there are a number of medications your vet can prescribe that will stop the heat cycle. The most common of these drugs are referred to as GnRH or Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormones and can be purchased as either an injection or a subcutaneous implant. Preventing the heat cycle will also leave your dog with less desire to find a mate, which could stop her from wandering off and getting lost, injured, stolen, or turned into your local animal control authority. These medications are highly effective at stopping your dog from going into heat.

If your dog is producing enough blood to cause a mess you may want to restrict her to easy- to -clean, un-carpeted floors. Unless you intend breeding, it is best to have her spayed. Spaying will prevent her from going into heat. Female dogs do not produce very much blood however, and in a small dog you may not even notice the bleeding. Just leaving her outside is a bad idea unless you want her to have male visitors. While your bitch is in heat it's inadvisable to leave her unsupervised outside, and you'll need to keep her on the lead at all times while on walks.

Dog diapers used during this time can reduce rug and floor stains from blood. Confinement to a room, garage or outside run may be preferable for dogs with a lot of vaginal bleeding. This is the messiest time of the heat cycle due to the bleeding. You may want to avoid walking your dog around the neighborhood during this period as intact males can smell an in heat dog up to 5 miles away. Extra precautions should be taken to prevent females from escaping or males entering the yard.

You can’t, so don’t try to. We recommend having your dog neutered at a time that’s right for them, as it prevents bleeding. During this time, your dog will likely bleed for around 7 to 10 days. Some dogs bleed heavily, while others bleed very little. stick to their routine, a change of routine, e.g. locking them in the kitchen so they don’t bleed on the carpet, can cause distress. if you are restricting certain areas of the house, introduce this in advance so it’s not new to your pup.
