Symptoms of false pregnancy in dogs include a swollen abdomen, maternal urges being directed towards toys or other objects, restlessness, irritability and increased aggression. False pregnancy among canines can be resolved without treatment, however it may be best to spay the dog in question if she is not breeding quality.

It can be different depending on what breed your dog is. Discharge, weight gain, and inflamed nipples are all common signs of pregnancy that will disappear if your dog is having a false pregnancy.
