Breeding & Pregnancy Services

Vaginal cytology & Hormonal Assay

Know early. Plan better. We offer advanced diagnostics to confirm pregnancy and track your pet’s progress throughout gestation:

  • Abdominal Ultrasound: A non-invasive imaging technique used to detect pregnancy early (as soon as 3-4 weeks) and evaluate fetal development. This helps confirm whether your dog or cat is pregnant and ensures the pregnancy is progressing normally.
  • Fetal Health Monitoring: During the ultrasound, we assess the fetal heart rate, size, and movement to check for viability and proper growth.
  • Radiographs (X-rays): After day 45 of gestation, X-rays help count the number of fetuses, which is critical for preparing for labor or surgical delivery. This is especially helpful for breeders expecting large litters or planning C-sections.
Vaginal cytology & Hormonal Assay

A breeding consultation is recommended before mating to evaluate your pet’s overall health, reproductive status, and readiness for a successful pregnancy.

Pregnancy can often be confirmed through a veterinary examination and ultrasound several weeks after breeding.

The ideal breeding time varies for each dog. Hormone testing and reproductive evaluations can help determine the most fertile period.

Progesterone testing helps identify ovulation timing, which can improve breeding success and increase the likelihood of conception.

Ultrasound can typically detect pregnancy within a few weeks after breeding and allows veterinarians to monitor fetal development.

Yes. Veterinary breeding services can help owners understand the breeding process, pregnancy milestones, and potential complications.

Pregnant pets benefit from regular veterinary checkups, proper nutrition, exercise management, and monitoring throughout gestation.

Most canine pregnancies last approximately 63 days, while feline pregnancies generally last between 63 and 67 days.

Common signs include nesting behavior, decreased appetite, restlessness, and a drop in body temperature before delivery.

You should seek veterinary assistance if labor is prolonged, contractions are unproductive, or the mother appears distressed.

A C-section is a surgical procedure used to safely deliver puppies or kittens when natural birth is difficult or poses a risk to the mother or babies.

Some breeds may have a higher risk of birthing difficulties due to body structure or litter size and may require additional monitoring.

Litter size varies depending on breed, age, genetics, and individual health factors. Your veterinarian can provide a better estimate during pregnancy.

Schedule a post-birth examination to ensure both the mother and newborns are healthy and developing normally.

Pre-breeding evaluations help identify health concerns, improve breeding outcomes, and support the health of both the parent animals and future offspring.
