Much has been said about the sixth Sense that animals possess, which on numerous occasions abruptly alter their behavior for a reason we are not able to understand. He believes that this happens because animals have an extra sense that in human beings seems to be dormant, and therefore, they are able to perceive what our mind does not reach.
An example of this amazing sense is the prediction of natural disasters, which not only affect dogs but also a great diversity of species. For example, before the tsunami took place in Sri Lanka, which would destroy a large part of the island, several animals (rabbits, hares, monkeys, elephants, among others) sought refuge in higher altitude terrains, surprising isn't it?
Observing these behaviors in animals, especially when we live with them, we can ask several questions that are difficult to answer when there are few scientific studies about them. However, in this article by the Animal Expert we try to answer the following question: Dogs predict pregnancy?
The possibility of dogs detecting a pregnancy
Currently there is talk (a lot) of interspecies communication, referring to a fantastic animal skill that allows them to communicate from the depths of their being with any other species. When reading this many people are perplexed and on several occasions disbelieving, but why not? It is said that the dog is man's best friend and I believe any dog lover shares this opinion.
This popular saying that has been perpetuated over time has taken root so deeply in humanity due to behaviors which are observed on numerous occasions and which are surprising, for example, when a dog howls relentlessly because its owner has died, although the animal is not present at the time, it is able to perceive it.
And just as they are able to predict natural disasters, so too are very sensitive to what happens in their environment and detect when things are not going well and the environment is not in harmony. Therefore, these are animals so susceptible to changes taking place in their surroundings, that they could perfectly predict when a woman in the family became pregnant, and could predict it before any manifestation of pregnancy.
Pregnancy detection is not such a mysterious issue
When talking about the sixth sense of animals, the conversation quickly acquires a mystical connotation, however, it is not as esoteric a topic as it may seem.
Currently, some dogs are the best nurses for people with diabetes, as they are able to detect physiological changes that occur when the body goes into a state of lack of blood glucose. These dogs not only warn the diabetic, but can also bring the material needed to resolve the situation.
During pregnancy, numerous physiological and dogs detect it, hence the fact that they can predict when a woman is in pregnancy.
How does a dog detect pregnancy?
The hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy change the body smell, this is not noticeable for us, but dogs can detect this clearly and change their behavior, sometimes becoming jealous or overly protective.
As the pregnancy progresses the dog will also notice that the woman is more sensitive, more tired and that she is making changes in her surroundings.
We can conclude that both female intuition and the sixth sense of dogs they are often the best tools for detecting pregnancy.
