  • Vaginal Ovulation Cytology

    Method & Purpose

    A sterile vaginal swab will be taken and examined microscopically to assess the stage of the canine heat cycle. This is a non-veterinary, non-invasive procedure. No blood samples are taken.


    Important Information

    There are four stages to the canine heat cycle. Vaginal cytology assists in identifying the most fertile period but cannot guarantee ovulation or pregnancy. Results are valid for the date of testing only.

    • I understand that any abnormalities require referral to my veterinary surgeon at my own expense.
    • I understand current breeding guidelines and will contact my local council if unsure.

    Manual semen collection will be carried out using strict hygiene procedures. A teaser bitch may be required to facilitate collection.

    Mating assistance involves controlled physical assistance to facilitate natural mating between dogs.

    No guarantee of pregnancy or successful conception is given. Injury, stress, or behavioural issues may occur despite appropriate handling.

    Any veterinary treatment required as a result of assisted mating remains the owner's responsibility.

  • Ultrasound Scanning

    Method

    Ultrasound scanning is carried out using a veterinary ultrasound scanner designed for external abdominal use. The dam will be gently positioned in a standing or relaxed position. Hair may be parted or lightly clipped if required, and ultrasound gel will be applied to ensure adequate contact. The probe is placed externally on the abdominal area to visualise the uterus. No sedation, restraint, or invasive procedures are used. The scan does not constitute a veterinary diagnostic examination.

     

    Purpose

    A non-diagnostic ultrasound scan to check for pregnancy no earlier than 28 days following the last mating. If mating dates are uncertain, additional scans may be required.

     

    Important Information

    • Litter size and gestational age are estimates only
    • Information provided is valid for the date of scan only
    • If I am unsure whether whelping is complete, I will seek veterinary confirmation before leaving my pet unattended
    • I understand current breeding guidelines
  • I understand and consent to Ultrasound Scanning*
  • Microchipping

    Method & Purpose

    Microchipping is a permanent method of identification used to help reunite dogs with their keeper if lost or stolen and to comply with current identification requirements. A sterile microchip is implanted beneath the skin between the shoulder blades using a single-use applicator. The procedure is quick and does not require sedation. The microchip contains a unique identification number which can be scanned and recorded on an approved database. Following implantation, the microchip will be registered to the breeder. Transfer of ownership details is the responsibility of the new keeper. This procedure does not constitute veterinary treatment.

     

    Important information:

    • Microchips will be registered to the breeder
    • Transfer of ownership details is the responsibility of the new keeper
    • I understand current breeding guidelines
    • Microchipping will be carried out in accordance with current identification and breeding guidelines.
  • I understand and consent to Microchipping*
  • By signing below, I confirm that I have read and understood the information relating to the fertility service(s) selected above and consent to them being carried out.
