The gestation period for dogs usually lasts from 57 to 65 days, although the average is around 63 days. However, it is important to note that this duration can be influenced by various factors, including the dog's breed and individual health characteristics. For example, smaller breeds may deliver puppies slightly sooner than larger breeds, leading to variance in the gestation timeline.
