Never leave your dog unsupervised outside—even in fenced yards.
Avoid Walks Where Other Dogs Are Present: Stick to leash walks in quiet areas.
Skip dog parks entirely during this time.
If You Have Male Dogs at Home: Separate them using secure double barriers—doors plus gates if possible—to prevent accidents and reduce stress for both animals.
Don't overdo it with cleansing, natural cleaning is important too.
Males can detect females in estrus from far away.
Caring for a dog in heat takes patience: supervise closely, keep things clean, provide comfort as needed—and always consult your vet with concerns.
