Canine Cytology

Cytology – Ovulation cytology testing is one of the most effective methods for identifying when the optimal breeding time is during your female dog’s estrus cycle. (“on heat” “season”).

Cytology is a way to determine the optimum time to breed and enhance the success of pregnancy. There will be different type’s of cells present, varying on the stage of estrus.

Cytology swabbing tracks the cellular changes in response to the levels of oestrogen. Taking a swab is a very simple technique.  A swab is taken of the cells lining the vagina. The best time to start is from day 7 of the female’s cycle.

We would retest every 3 days until ovulation is confirmed. The sample will be analysed under a specialist microscope. This will identify which stage your dog is currently in.

The whole process for your girl is quick and painless.

Advantages and benefits of ovulation testing

  1. This can increase litter size due to optimum time frame.
  2. This will result in less time spent on unproductive matings.
  3. Results are same day.
  4. Allows you time to prepare.

Whilst the normal window for breeding is around days 10-14 some dogs can ovulate early
and some can ovulate even at around day 20!

Some females can also have split season and can restart a few months later.
