Description

A dog progesterone test is an ovulation test for dogs. It allows us pinpoint when a female dog ovulates. This helps us identify the right time to mate her. This increases the chance of a successful, possibly larger litter.

Dragon Lab’s testing service provides same day results, which is one of the fastest turn around times of progesterone testing testing labs in UK. Helping you get those important results as soon as possible. Our equipment, the MiniVidas, is the gold standard of in-house progesterone testing for dogs.

Our industry experts will analyse your dog’s blood sample and report back to you with your dog ovulation test results within 1 hour of receiving the sample. Our service not only provides you with the numbers, but also invaluable knowledge and advice of our extensive experience.

Generic vets do not usually us specialise analysers and are sometimes not trained in interpreting progesterone results as their breeding experience is usually limited. This can lead to incorrect mating timing advice.

A dog progesterone test is the most accurate way to determine the correct timing of a mating. By progesterone testing, we can pinpoint when the bitch ovulates and thus when to mate her. This will increase your chances of having a successful, and hopefully larger litter. Accurate timing is essential to increase fertility. Progesterone testing for dogs is the most reliable way to do this.

This charge is for one test. You will be sent 3 sample tubes in case addition tests are required. Each subsequent test will need to be paid for via payment link, BACS or PayPal upon sample receipt.

Progesterone Testing

We recommend taking an initial sample at day 9 following your dog showing the first signs of bleeding. Subsequent tests/advice will depend on this initial result.
We try and limit the number of tests required to accurate predict ovulation. It is better to take an initial sample and retest 3/4 days after than to completely miss ovulation. Typically two or 3 tests are required.
