Can dogs give birth to twins?

Yes, dogs can absolutely give birth to twins!

In fact, it's quite common for dogs to have multiple puppies in a litter. While a litter size can range from one to a dozen or more puppies, two is a very common number.

Here are some interesting facts about canine twins:

* Multiple births are the norm: More than one puppy is considered the "standard" for most dog breeds.

* Litter size varies: The number of puppies in a litter depends on the breed and individual dog's genetics.

* Twin births can be challenging: Like human twins, canine twins can be more challenging to raise and require extra attention from their mother and owner.

If you have a pregnant dog, it's always best to consult with a veterinarian for guidance on caring for both her and her puppies, including the possibility of twins.
