Happy Mother’s Day to all those expectant mommies out there!

For you ladies with a bun in the oven wondering if your furry friends know what’s going on, the answer is… kinda sorta.

Dogs have the ability to sniff out changes in the human body, and many have developed impressive skill in detecting cancer, diabetes, and other health conditions in humans.

During pregnancy, your hormones shift and are released in different patterns and quantities, and these changes are sure to be noticed by your dog.

Your dog probably even noticed the changes in you before you did—come on, First Response, get with the doggie program.

If your dog doesn’t seem to be acting differently around you, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know something’s up—the response is personal and unique to the

individual dog, just like some people flinch during scary movies and others are seemingly unaffected.
