Pet Progesterone Testing

Starting with accurate timing is crucial for successful breeding. We recommend beginning progesterone testing within 5-7 days of your female dog’s heat cycle. Some dogs ovulate quickly, while others take a bit longer. Our in-house progesterone testing, featuring both IDEXX and Heska options, provides results in just 12 minutes. This quick turnaround allows for same-day breeding if necessary, ensuring you don’t miss the optimal breeding window.

Pet Breeding

Once ovulation is confirmed, the window for breeding is short. We offer several breeding methods to achieve the best results:

  • Artificial Insemination (AI): A standard and widely used method.
  • Transcervical Insemination (TCI): Offers a more direct approach without surgery.
  • Surgical Insemination: Used in specific cases as advised by our veterinary team.

Our experts will recommend the most suitable method based on your dog’s progesterone levels and cycle stage. For more information on these methods, feel free to call us.

Pet Reproductive Ultrasound

After breeding, the waiting begins. We can perform a reproductive ultrasound as soon as 28-30 days post-ovulation to confirm pregnancy. While ultrasound may not determine the exact number of puppies, it confirms the presence of a litter. Call or text our office to schedule a reproductive ultrasound, and we will arrange your appointment promptly.

Puppy Count X-Ray

Knowing the number of puppies is helpful for planning your dog’s delivery. We offer a puppy count x-ray the week before her due date. This service provides an excellent estimate of the expected litter size. Contact us to schedule a puppy count x-ray, and we’ll schedule your appointment.

Reverse Progesterone Testing and Cesarean Services

In the final stages of your dog’s pregnancy, reverse progesterone testing helps us determine the best time for delivery. If a cesarean is necessary, our experienced team is ready to perform the procedure safely and efficiently.
