Services We Offer
We are experts in canine immunology, parasitology, nutrition, reproduction, progesterone testing, interpretation and advice, leading to breeding success! . We offer titre testing, lungworm screening, microchipping, ultrasound scanning, artificial insemination and parasitology. We run all of our laboratory tests including canine progesterone testing on-site following GLP and strict SOP protocols. All blood samples are provided to us by owners.
Progesterone Testing
Testing the levels of serum progesterone in a bitches blood indicates at what point she will ovulate and subsequently WHEN to mate.
Microchipping
Microchipping is quick and easy to get done, and greatly increases the chances that a lost dog will be reunited safely with their owner.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound scan is the best way to find out if your bitch is pregnant. This is usually carried out four weeks after mating or insemination.
Titre Tests
Your dog may not need that yearly (or even 3 yearly) booster at all! According to latest guidelines, WSAVA, suggest that DHP booster vaccinations may not be required as often as previously thought.
What Our Clients Say
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.sarah sarjeant07/09/2024Sent for a titre test, it was posted to me within days, I sent back the blood sample and Eve text and emailed to let me know it had arrived. By the end of the day I had my results. Fast efficient and professional serviceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Olya Tout22/08/2024I've been so happy finding Dragon Lab, after searching for days to find someone who did VacciCheck, as very few vets offer this service. Titre tests offered by vets, in my location, normally send blood samples to their own labs and the price I was quoted, was even as high as £220! None of the surgeries were familiar with VacciCheck. The service from Dragon, was professional, quick and efficient. I was offered additional tests for my dog and glad I opted for the Cardiac. All results given by Dragon are great and that gives me assurance that my dog's immunity for core diseases is OK, so no unnecessary vaccination, that are given routinely, are needed. I'll continue using services of Dragon Lab, for all 3 of my pets, 2 cats & a dog.
