Pet Vaginal Cytology

Pregnancy success can be improved by performing vaginal cytology on female dogs to determine the best breeding time.

Pet Vaginal Cytology

We can perform vaginal cytology on female dogs to help determine the optimum time to breed and enhance pregnancy success. To do so, the veterinarian takes a swab of the vaginal cells and analyzes them under a microscope. Usually, more than one swab is required.

Additional tests, including a thyroid analysis, should be performed on your dog before the estrus cycle. These tests can rule out any potential problems or alert you to issues that must be addressed before breeding.

Please call and schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians to discuss how we can further assist you with your breeding program.
