To make sure that a Rottweiler in heat is comfortable and healthy, you need to pay a little more attention to it and manage it. When caring for a Rottweiler in heat, here are a few important things to keep in mind:
Keep an eye on your dog’s behavior. When a Rottweiler is in heat, its behavior may change, such as becoming more affectionate, restless, and urinating more.
Provide a safe and comfortable environment: Rottweilers in heat may become more anxious and nervous, so it’s important to give them a safe and comfortable place to be.
Watch how they are doing physically. When a Rottweiler is in heat, she may have a swollen vulva, a clear or bloody discharge, and a bigger appetite. These are normal signs, but if they keep happening, it’s best to see a vet.
Exercise and activities: When a Rottweiler is in heat, they shouldn’t be overworked because it could cause their bodies to stress.
Stop unwanted breeding: Rottweilers that are in heat shouldn’t be around males who haven’t been neutered. This is important to stop unwanted breeding. When they are in heat, it’s best to keep them inside or in a safe area with a fence.
Rottweilers in heat should be kept clean to avoid getting infections. The best way to do this is to wipe the area with a damp cloth and let it dry completely.
Medication: Some vets may give a Rottweiler in heat medicine to help with the symptoms, such as hormone therapy to control the heat cycle or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce swelling and pain.
It’s important to remember that you should talk to a vet if your Rottweiler shows signs of distress or illness during her heat cycle. They can help you deal with your dog’s symptoms and, if necessary, give it the right treatment.

When your Rottweiler is in heat, there are a few things you should not do to keep her healthy and happy. Here are some things you should remember:
Don’t breed: It’s important not to breed your Rottweiler when she’s in heat. This is because mating during the heat cycle can make it more likely that there will be problems during pregnancy and delivery.
Avoid exposing males who haven’t been neutered: Rottweilers may look better to unneutered males when they are in heat. It’s important to keep your dog away from male dogs who haven’t been neutered since this can increase the chance of pregnancy and other problems.
Avoid too much exercise. When a Rottweiler is in heat, she may get antsier, which can lead to her overworking herself. During this time, you should avoid doing too much exercise to avoid getting hurt or too tired.
Don’t use harsh cleaning products. Rottweilers may have a discharge from the vulva during the heat cycle. If you need to clean the area, don’t use harsh cleaners because they could cause irritation or infection.
Avoid public places. When Rottweilers are in heat, they might get unwanted attention from male dogs or get bred by accident, so it’s best not to take them out in public.

Look for signs such as swelling of the vulva, discharge, behavioral changes, increased appetite, and attraction to male dogs to determine if your Rottweiler is in heat. During this time, be mindful of the changes that occur such as hormonal changes and behavioral changes, and consult with a veterinarian for any concerns.
