Pregnant dogs may become less active and lethargic and may not want to eat regular foods. Beware if the pregnant dog becomes withdrawn or looses her appetite, as this can be a sign of pregnancy complications. However, it is normal for pregnant dogs to experience morning sickness from the hormonal changes, which can affect the appetites also. These behaviors of pregnant dogs are also signs of depression, so you may want to consult the veterinarian if these behaviors are persistent.
The dog may scratch at the floor and some dogs may begin to hoard food and other items. This is a normal behavior for pregnant dogs as they begin to experience nesting urges. Another change in behavior of pregnant dogs is their demeanor. During pregnancy, your dog may become unusually irritable to noise and strangers while others want more attention and affection.
