Why don't pets get their period?

howcome pets dont have periods like humans do?

Answer #1

they do , they go into heat about every six months, thanks goodness it is not more, with so many careless owners the dog population would be worse then what it already is.

Answer #2

*they may bleed but it won’t be their period… its something else medical…

The blood comes directly from the walls of the vagina rather than the sloughing of the uterine lining as occurs in menstruation.

Answer #3

some do…my friends dog gets her period…I’ve witnessed it and he mom would always tell me to watch out for her because of it.

Answer #4

Its because they have what’s called an estrous cycle. It’s called being “in heat”. It’s different from periods (menstrual cycles), however, in that the time that they’re in heat is when they’re most fertile.
