12 May What is Progesterone Testing?
The most accurate way of timing canine breeding is by progesterone testing. If you’re looking to breed dogs and are asking ‘Where can I find progesterone testing near me?’ you’ve come to the right place.
A quantitative progesterone blood test is reported as a numeric result, usually expressed as ng/dl. It can be used along with your own assessment of the behaviour of the bitch and the dog, and vaginal cytology, to pinpoint the best time for breeding.
It can be particularly useful for dogs with a history of breeding difficulties or when you are planning a long journey in order to breed. It can also be hugely beneficial for breeding that you think is likely to result in cesarean delivery.
At Pet Ultrasound, we have been carrying out progesterone testing for many years, along with many other aspects of canine breeding.
We’re here to help you discuss or arrange testing, canine fertility issues, or artificial insemination. Whatever your requirements, get in touch today to give your bitch and/or dog the best chance of successful mating.
