Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Dogs typically DON'T pose any health risks on your baby. The only concern that you should have about owning a dog during pregnancy, is the possibility of dog jumping on your abdomen when you're sitting or lying down. If your larger dog has a habit of jumping, you will need to train him not to do that.

During your pregnancy, it's very important to train your dog to listen to you. Obedience training is critical. You don't want to have an unruly dog in house, especially when you have a newborn baby to care for.

On a health level, as long as your dog is vaccinated and receiving its regular medical follow-up, its presence at home is something quite positive for your pregnancy.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
