Trusted Reproductive Care

Breeding an animal is a big decision, and ensuring the health and safety of both parent and offspring requires expert guidance. At our veterinary hospital, we offer comprehensive pet reproductive services designed to support you and your pet every step of the way—before, during, and after pregnancy.

Whether you’re exploring breeding options for the first time or have experience with animal reproduction, our team is here to provide personalized care and trusted advice.

Reasons why

Veterinary Support Matters in Pet Reproduction

Partnering with a veterinarian for reproductive care ensures the best outcomes for your pet’s health. From genetic testing and breeding assistance to prenatal and postnatal care, veterinary guidance can:

  • Offer expert insight into nutrition, timing, and overall reproductive health.
  • Increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
  • Reduce the risk of inherited conditions in offspring.
  • Provide safe, supervised breeding practices.
  • Support the health of newborns and parent animals alike.

Reproductive Services

Artificial Insemination (AI)

We offer multiple AI options to meet your pet’s needs:

  • Surgical AI: The most effective method when using frozen semen or semen with poor motility. This procedure involves general anesthesia and requires precise progesterone timing.

Vaginal AI / Side-by-Side Breeding: A less invasive option, performed without sedation. This technique reduces physical strain on the animals and limits exposure to disease or injury during breeding.

Breeding Assistance

Natural breeding doesn’t always go as planned. Our clinics offer safe and supervised hand breeding assistance, managed directly by our veterinarians. This ensures a controlled and comfortable environment for both pets, while minimizing risk.

Canine Semen Collection, Freezing & Storage

We offer professional semen collection, freezing, and long-term storage services. This is ideal for breeders who want to preserve valuable genetics or coordinate breeding across distance and time.

Cesarean Sections (C-Sections)

In some cases, a natural delivery may not be the safest option for your pet. Whether due to breed-specific concerns, health risks, or complications during labor, a planned or emergency cesarean section (C-section) can be a life-saving procedure for both the mother and her puppies or kittens.

Our veterinary team is experienced in performing safe and timely C-sections using advanced surgical techniques and careful anesthesia protocols. We work closely with you to determine if a C-section is necessary and when it should be scheduled, often using progesterone testing and imaging to guide timing.

C-Section services may include:

  • Pre-surgical evaluation and timing consultation.
  • Safe anesthesia tailored to your pet’s needs.
  • Skilled surgical delivery in a fully equipped facility.
  • Immediate newborn assessment and care.
  • Post-operative pain management and recovery support.

We understand how stressful birthing concerns can be, especially for breeds prone to delivery complications. Our goal is to provide peace of mind and top-quality care, ensuring the best possible outcome for both mom and babies.

Genetic Testing for Inherited Conditions

Before breeding, it’s crucial to screen for genetic diseases. Our veterinary team provides access to advanced genetic testing to identify hereditary conditions, helping you make informed breeding decisions and protect future litters.

Prenatal Animal Care

Pregnancy brings many changes, and our veterinary team is here to guide you through them. We offer comprehensive prenatal care, including:

  • Monitoring fetal development
  • Nutritional and wellness planning
  • Exercise and activity recommendations
  • Preparing for delivery
Progesterone Testing for Timing

Proper timing is key to successful breeding and delivery. Our clinics offer both in-house and send-out progesterone testing to accurately predict the ideal time for mating or scheduling a cesarean section.

Postnatal Animal Care

After your pet gives birth, professional veterinary care is essential to ensure a smooth recovery and a healthy start for the newborns. Our postnatal services include:

  • Health checks for both mom and babies.
  • Nursing and nutrition support.
  • Future breeding consultations.
  • Guidance on when or whether to spay or neuter.
