Animal Reproductive Services
Progesterone Testing
Timing is everything when it comes to breeding success. Our in-house progesterone testing allows us to accurately determine the best time for mating or artificial insemination, improving your chances of a healthy, successful pregnancy. Progesterone monitoring is also used close to birthing to help predict when labour is likely to begin.
Diagnostic Imaging – Ultrasound & X-Rays
We offer advanced ultrasound and radiology services to confirm pregnancy, monitor foetal development, and assess the health of both mother and offspring. Ultrasound provides a safe and non-invasive way to track pregnancy progress, while X-rays are especially valuable later in pregnancy to determine litter size and birthing readiness.
Caesarean Sections
In cases where natural delivery poses risks to the mother or young, our veterinary team is fully equipped to perform safe and professional caesarean sections. We act quickly and carefully to protect both mum and babies, ensuring the best possible outcome.
DNA Testing
For breeders who wish to ensure lineage accuracy or check for inherited conditions, we provide reliable DNA testing. This service can help identify genetic markers, confirm parentage, and support responsible breeding practices.
Hip & Elbow Scoring
As part of our commitment to long-term animal health, we offer hip and elbow scoring to assess joint health and identify potential hereditary issues. This service is performed strictly by appointment and is essential for breeders who want to reduce the risk of passing on joint problems.
