Several people have asked me recently, if it is possible to stop a heat in dog. They were unpleasant with the whole situation when the dog must not be let alone in the yard, had to be guarded, and were restless most of the time.
To answer short, Yes, there is a method to stop a heat cycle in dogs.
However, owners who seek a relief for their misery may be left disappointed, because you will still need to protect your dog. Protective period will be shorter, but it will not disappear at all. If someone wants to escape from caring for a dog in heat, using medications is not the best option. But it’s your choice.
How the heat cycle postponement work in dogs?
Heat cycle in dogs can be halted by using megestrol acetate (commercial name: Ovaban).
