Ovulation testing
(Cytology)
Vaginal swabs are taken and examined under a microscope to determine the best time to mate.
The results are instant, it is cheaper and less invasive than bloods with a high rate of success. For optimal results tracking a season from day 8 is best, and more accurate than a single test.
​
Typically I retest every 2 or 3 days until ovulation occurs. How many tests we do will be dependent on the girls cycle.
​
£25 per test
Ultrasound
(Canine/ feline/ small animal pregnancy)
Pregnancy scans to be done ideally 30/ 31 days after last matings.
​
If you have a long haired or large breed and require a rough count scanning at 35 days is advantageous.
​
Gestational sack measuring can also be done to give an estimated due date.
​
Videos and photos can be taken
​
If you would like to hire out a whelping box please ask at time of scan.
​
First scan £35
Follow up scan £20
Formal semen analysis
Detailed formal semen analysis utilising a CASA system to track the path of the semen (videos can be taken of the sample).
The report will come with a formal count, documenting the % of motile sperm as well as a morphology grading.
​
I take great pride in this being accurate with me checking several parameters and running a few tests, as such the report is emailed a day or so after your visit.
​
This sort of report is ideal for new studs, studs that have had a long gap between breedings, old dogs and studs that have recently had girls miss.
​
Please note having a tease bitch greatly increases chances of success
