Yes!! It definitely is !
My dog acted up sooo much and it was the whole reason I knew I was pregnant ! It tends to get better once they’re used to your hormones but because being pregnant causes such a rise in your hormone levels they act out at first because they can sense a change !

Dogs know your hormone changes while pregnant, they can also get protective and clingy.
If you are worried get her checked for a uinary tract infection.
