Services
Progesterone Blood Testing
Our progesterone testing uses hospital-grade analysers to pinpoint ovulation timing with laboratory-accurate results within 1 hour. This service helps breeders identify the optimal mating window, whether using fresh, chilled, or frozen semen. With postal and hand-delivered sample options available 365 days a year, we provide tailored advice based on individual breeding histories.
Ultrasound Scans
Performed from day 28 post-mating, our ultrasound scans confirm pregnancy, detect litter size, and monitor foetal health. Available 24/7 for emergencies, this service identifies complications such as resorption or infection. Our experienced sonographers use advanced equipment calibrated to veterinary standards for precise, actionable insights.
Assisted Matings
We assist with matings when natural breeding proves challenging, reducing stress for dogs and breeders. Our team intervenes early to prevent complications like lowered sperm count or prostate irritation. This service includes timing guidance based on progesterone levels and individual mating dynamics to maximise conception chances.
Sperm Testing
Sperm testing evaluates semen quality, motility, and viability using fresh samples collected with teaser bitches for accuracy. This service identifies potential fertility issues in stud dogs and advises on enhancing sperm quality. Results inform breeding strategies and collection methods for optimal outcomes.
