No. A dog cannot get a cat pregnant, and a cat cannot become pregnant by a dog. Dogs and cats are different species with incompatible reproductive biology, so mounting or mating-like contact cannot produce a pregnancy or a dog–cat hybrid.
Why a dog–cat pregnancy cannot happen
Dogs and cats have distinct reproductive systems and are separate species. Their biology is not compatible in a way that would allow them to produce offspring together. A dog–cat hybrid cannot result from mating between them.

Merck Veterinary Manual describes canine and feline reproductive systems separately and recommends veterinary expertise in each species’ reproductive anatomy and physiology: Merck Veterinary Manual: Overview of Reproduction in Dogs and Cats. The Vet Desk also directly addresses dog–cat hybrids, but its article is a secondary source rather than a primary genetics reference: The Vet Desk: Can a Dog Get a Cat Pregnant?

What if a dog mounted a cat?
Mounting or other mating-like behavior is not evidence that the animals can reproduce together. One observation is not enough to establish why a dog behaved that way.

Do you need to take pregnancy-related action?
No pregnancy prevention or termination measure is needed for a cat solely because a dog mounted or mated with it. Do not give medication or seek emergency contraception on that basis.
