There is no test you can give a dog to determine if she's pregnant or not. Unlike humans, there is no chemical change within the body of a dog. To tell if a dog is pregnant a very keen owner can usually tell very early on by mood changes. Also, dogs (just like humans) can have morning sickness early on. Then later on, of course, you get the more well known signs such as mammary development and abdominal enlargement. Dogs are pregnant around 63 days but can have them earlier or later than that.

no! where did you get that from
Pregnancy is usually diagnosed by palpation (feeling the abdomen), and confirmed by x-ray (which indicates the number of pups in the uterus). However, a blood test is also available to detect pregnancy.
well no would be more officiant to take it to a vet and the wet will test it but give it a try
I don't know what "home pregnancy kit" you are talking about. But, no such kit exists for dogs because, unlike humans, there is no chemical change within the dogs body after pregnancy occurs.
No - dogs have slightly different hormones that rise and fall in concentration at a different rate than humans. In general, a human home pregnancy test cannot detect pregnancy in a dog.
Yes, there are at home pregnancy tests you can buy. However, they are very expensive and you will need many tests so the best decision may be to take your dog to the vet.
No, they do not. Unlike humans, dogs do not have a chemical change in their body once pregnancy occurs.
No - the human pregnancy test is checking for human choriogonadotropin, a human-specific hormone that is a hallmark of early pregnancy. It may or may not react to canine choriogonadotropin.
