Progesterone Testing

---

We use the AIA360 diagnostic equipment to analysis progesterone levels.  It is the most accurate and reliable machine in the industry.  Progesterone testing and reaching the correct levels of the progesterone hormone is a vital of the breeding process.  Progesterone testing in canines is essential, particularly for breeding management and reproductive health. Here are the key reasons and benefits of progesterone testing:  1. *Timing of Ovulation*: Progesterone levels rise after ovulation. By monitoring these levels, breeders can determine the optimal time for mating, increasing the chances of successful conception.  2. *Predicting Fertility*: Testing helps assess a female dog's fertility status. If progesterone levels are not rising as expected, it may indicate issues with ovulation or hormonal imbalances.  3. *Assessing Pregnancy*: Progesterone is vital for maintaining pregnancy. Testing can help confirm pregnancy and monitor the hormone levels throughout gestation to ensure that all is going well.  4. *Detecting Abnormalities*: Abnormal progesterone levels can indicate various reproductive issues, such as cystic ovaries, uterine infections, or other endocrine disorders.  5. *Improving Breeding Success*: By accurately determining the timing for breeding, progesterone testing can lead to higher success rates in mating and subsequent litters.  6. *Individualized Breeding Plans*: Different dogs may have varied reproductive cycles. Regular testing allows for personalized management plans, tailored to each dog’s specific needs.  Overall, progesterone testing is a valuable tool for breeders and veterinarians to ensure the health and reproductive success of canine patients.
