We perform progesterone tests via a blood sample to pinpoint the dog’s fertile period. We recommend multiple tests to determine the most accurate timing. We can also perform vaginal cytology on female dogs to calculate the stage of estrus. This method involves taking a swab of the vaginal cells and analyzing them under a microscope. Usually more than one swab is required.
Please call and set up an appointment with one of our veterinarians to discuss how we can further assist you with your breeding program.
