Reproduction Planning

Looking to improve conception rates in your breeding program? Using one of two methods, we can assist you in determining the optimum time to breed your dogs and enhance the success of pregnancy.

We can perform vaginal cytology on female dogs to calculate the stage of estrus. This method involves taking a swab of the vaginal cells and analyzing them under a microscope. Usually more than one swab is required. Another method we can use is to measure the dog’s blood progesterone level, which is the most accurate method of determining the optimal fertile period.

Please call and set up an appointment with one of our veterinarians to discuss how we can further assist you with your breeding program.
