My dog (miniature schnauzer) bleeds quite a bit during her period. Apparently, it's not that uncommon.

- Sharlin 15y agoTo be precise, dogs (and practically all mammals except humans) don't have a "period" or a menstrual cycle. They have an estrous cycle instead.
- drostie 15y agoInteresting, and useful to know!
- guelo 15y agoThis is different from menstruation, it occurs when the animal is ‘in heat’ during mid-cycle (at the time of ovulation) and the blood comes from the vaginal walls, not the uterus.
