1. What is Yorkie Pregnancy Calculator?

The Yorkie Pregnancy Calculator helps track your Yorkshire Terrier's pregnancy week by week, providing accurate due date calculation and developmental milestones with corresponding pictures for each stage of gestation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses standard dog pregnancy formulas:

\[ Due Date = Mating Date + 63 days \] \[ Week = \lfloor (Current Date - Mating Date) / 7 \rfloor \]

Where:

\( Mating Date \) — Date when breeding occurred
\( Current Date \) — Today's date or any date you want to check
\( 63 days \) — Standard canine gestation period
\( Week \) — Current week of pregnancy (0-9 weeks)

Explanation: The calculator tracks pregnancy progression based on the 63-day average gestation period for dogs, with weekly milestones specifically tailored for Yorkshire Terriers.

3. Importance of Pregnancy Tracking

Details: Proper pregnancy tracking ensures optimal care for both mother and puppies, helps prepare for whelping, and allows for timely veterinary interventions if needed.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the exact mating date and current date to calculate the due date and current pregnancy week. For best accuracy, use confirmed breeding dates.
