Keep sanitation and training pads on hand to help minimize the messes that are inevitable when dog breeding and whelping activities are underway.
Things to consider: Dogs in heat, total cleanup needs, and grooming needs.
Minimizing Mishaps - Dogs in heat can deposit blood stains throughout your home. A sanitary pad from the dog waste disposal and cleanup section of your online pet store could be just the solution to keep your home furnishings safe from her cycle. Do not, however, mistake a sanitary pad for dogs in heat with a diaper for dogs being housetrained. They are not the same thing, and one will not work in place of the other.
Strong Stain Removers - For those dog breeding and whelping inevitabilities when you time it wrong and find your dogs in heat with no sanitary pants in place, be sure you have an adequate pet stain and odor remover readily available that indicates on the package that it works on blood stains.
Brush Her Hair - Dogs in heat tend to shed more during and just after their cycle than they do when not in heat. You can help make your dog happier and more comfortable if you give her a good brushing to help remove some of that unwanted fur whenever your dogs in heat.
