Canine Artificial Insemination

Artificial insemination services for dogs increases the size of the gene pool used for breeding programmes resulting in healthier dogs with decreased risk of sexually transmitted diseases and genetic defects. At Cavan Fertility Clinic, based in Willenhall in the West Midlands, we provide a range of services for breeders in Wolverhampton and nationally, designed to ensure canine artificial insemination is safe and focuses chiefly on the welfare of the animals. Our full programme of services include:

ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION FOR DOGS

Artificial insemination for dogs has two main benefits for breeders in Willenhall and Wolverhampton. It is more accurate, has higher success rates and eliminates the risk of spreading infections. Likewise, it allows for aggressive or large dogs to participate in a breeding programme.

CAESAREAN

Being partnered with Cavan Vets provides us access to the best veterinary surgeons on site who can perform caesarean procedures. If you are a breeder based in the West Midlands or nationally, and would like expert advice on artificial insemination for dogs, contact us via our website or over the phone.

SPERM ANALYSIS

We advise that all studs have their sperm analysed before canine artificial insemination to help us find the perfect stud for your female. Sperm counts with each semen analysis allow us to identify any viruses such as herpes microscopically.

PROGESTERONE TESTING

We conduct progesterone testing to allow us to identify when a bitch is ovulating, providing the ideal moment for mating. Applying our new AIA 360 machine, we can produce results from progesterone testing inside twenty minutes.

PREGNANCY SCANS

We perform pregnancy scans 28-35 days after the mating enabling us to check for a growing foetus, any puppy resorption and pyometra.

MICROCHIPPING

After any successful breeding programme, we recommend all puppies receive microchip implants. As fully trained implanters we can perform this service for your litter.
