If you own a bitch (female dog) then provided she has not been spayed she will come into season on a fairly regular basis through her life. This is commonly known as ‘being on heat’ and is something that owners of all dogs need to be aware of. It is only while the bitch is in season that she can get pregnant and owners need to beware of the cycle to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Similarly breeders need to be aware of the season to ensure mating at that time. Bitches do not have a menopause in the way humans do and they will come into season throughout their entire lives, although they will be less fertile.
Dog owners in Essex have been warned to be aware of new beach restrictions imposed across the county for the duration of the summer season.
