Can you use a regular thermometer to check your pregnant dogs temp?

Yes, you can use a regular digital thermometer to check your pregnant dog's temperature, but it's best to use a thermometer designed for pets for accuracy. The normal temperature for dogs is typically between 101°F and 102.5°F. Monitoring your dog's temperature can help you predict labor, as it often drops below 100°F shortly before whelping. Always ensure the thermometer is clean and follow safe procedures for taking the reading.
