Canine Reproductive Services
Ovulation Timing
Accurately determining the best time for breeding is crucial for successful conception. At GoVets, we use advanced hormone (progesterone) testing and imaging techniques to pinpoint the optimal ovulation window for your dog, maximising the chances of pregnancy through natural mating or artificial insemination.
Health Benefits
Increased Conception Rates
By ensuring breeding occurs at the optimal time, the likelihood of conception is significantly higher, reducing the need for repeated attempts.
Reduced Stress on the Female
With precise timing, unnecessary attempts at mating are avoided, minimising physical and emotional stress for the female dog.
Improved Litter Health
Proper timing leads to healthier pregnancies and increases the chances of producing a healthy and viable litter.
Why It’s Important for Your Dog’s Welfare
Ovulation timing directly impacts the welfare of breeding dogs. Attempting to breed outside the optimal ovulation window can be frustrating and stressful for female dogs, potentially leading to reproductive health issues. By ensuring that mating or insemination occurs only at the most fertile point, we help reduce physical and motional strain.
Additionally, accurate timing lessens the need for unnecessary procedures or interventions, allowing your dog to experience a smooth and healthy reproductive process.
FAQ
We use a combination of progesterone blood tests and vaginal cytology to monitor hormone levels and identify when ovulation is most likely to occur. Ultrasound imaging may also be used to confirm ovulation.
We typically start testing a few days before your dog is expected to ovulate and follow up every 2-3 days to accurately track hormone changes.
While not required for every breeding, it significantly increases the chances of conception, especially in dogs with irregular cycles, fertility issues, or when using artificial insemination.
Yes, hormone testing is a simple blood test that is safe and causes minimal discomfort for your dog.
