Yes, your dog’s breasts will return to normal after pregnancy. Dogs do not lactate as humans do. Their milk is meant only as food for their puppies, not for human consumption.

After giving birth, the mother dog’s milk may be present in small amounts during the first week or two after she gives birth. After that time, it should go away completely unless you supplement her diet with milk replacer or some other kind of milk substitute. If you feed your dog milk replacer, it’s important that she gets enough calcium since her body cannot synthesize this mineral on its own.

If your puppy is still nursing when she goes into heat again, she might get pregnant again right away — or she might not. Female dogs are able to have multiple litters within a few months of each other if they want to, but most female dogs don’t go into heat again until about three weeks after weaning their puppies so that they can heal up from delivery and regain their strength before getting pregnant again.
