CYTOLOGY ANALYSIS: £30
Cytology is a simple, non-invasive procedure used to help identify the
most suitable time for mating. A swab is taken from the female and
the cells collected are analysed under a microscope, with results
available within approximately 15 minutes. Testing is usually
recommended between days 9 and 11 of your female's season,
although this can vary depending on the individual dog and breed. We
recommend that your dog does not urinate before her appointment,
where possible, as this can affect the sample collected.
Based on the results, we can recommend suitable mating dates or
advise when a repeat test may be required. In some cases, the first
test may provide a baseline result and further testing may be needed
to pinpoint the most suitable mating days.
SEMEN COUNT & MOTILITY ANALYSIS :
£50
Semen analysis is an important fertility check for both new and established
stud dogs, helping to assess the overall quality of the semen before a planned
mating. A sample is collected and analysed at our clinic using specialist
equipment to assess sperm count, motility and overall quality, as well as
identifying any visible abnormalities which could potentially affect fertility.
Results are provided immediately, giving you a clear indication of the quality
and movement of the sperm at the time of testing. Following the analysis, you
will also receive a professional digital certificate with the results. Regular
semen analysis is recommended for active stud dogs to help monitor fertility
and identify any changes over time.
ASSISTED MATING : £50
Assisted mating is a breeding technique that can be used as an
alternative to natural mating. The procedure can be carried out at our
clinic using fresh semen collected from the stud dog, or chilled semen
from a stud located further away. Assisted mating can be particularly
useful where a natural mating is difficult or not possible, for example
due to a difference in size, location or if either dog is unwilling to mate
naturally. Timing is an important part of the process, so we recommend
fertility testing beforehand to help determine the most suitable days
for assisted mating.
ULTRASOUND SCAN : £40
We offer professional ultrasound scanning to confirm pregnancy using
specialist ultrasound equipment at our clinic. For the most reliable pregnancy
detection, we recommend scanning from 28 days after the last mating date.
During the scan, we can confirm whether a pregnancy is visible, provide an
estimated due date and give an approximate indication of litter size. Please
note that puppy counts during ultrasound are estimates and cannot be
guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Ultrasound scanning can also be useful in
helping to distinguish between pregnancy and signs associated with a
phantom pregnancy.
MICROCHIPPING : £8-10
We are fully qualified, experienced and insured microchip implanters,
using small microchips designed for comfortable implantation. Puppies
must be microchipped and registered on a compliant database before
they are eight weeks old, unless a veterinary exemption applies. The
breeder is responsible for ensuring each puppy is microchipped and
recorded as the first keeper before it leaves for its new home.
Following microchipping, breeders are provided with the relevant
microchip details for each puppy, ready to include within their puppy
packs for the new owners.
