The timing for scheduling an ultrasound to check if a pet is pregnant varies depending on the species. In dogs and cats, ultrasound can typically detect pregnancy. Accurate results obtained around 5 to 6weeks after mating when fetal structures are more developed.

If you suspect that your pet may be pregnant, it's essential to consult with your veterinarian to discuss the appropriate timing for scheduling an ultrasound. Your veterinarian can evaluate your pet's reproductive history, perform a physical examination, and recommend diagnostic tests as needed to confirm pregnancy and monitor the health of the mother and developing offspring. Early detection of pregnancy through ultrasound allows for proper prenatal care and preparation for the upcoming litter, if applicable.
