Frequently Asked Questions
What is progesterone testing?
It’s a blood test that tracks the hormone progesterone, which rises as your bitch approaches ovulation. Tracking that rise is the most reliable way to pinpoint her best days for mating.
How quickly will I get my results?
Usually within about an hour of your sample being taken. I’ll talk you through what the result means for your girl straight away.
How many tests will my bitch need?
Progesterone rises gradually before climbing sharply near ovulation, so most bitches need a handful of tests across the season to track that pattern accurately. I’ll advise you on timing as we go.
How far do you cover?
I’m based in Heanor, Derbyshire, and welcome all breeders local or further afield.
Do you test all breeds?
Yes, any breed. With over 30 years’ experience breeding Cockers, Westies, Malteses and Cavaliers myself, I understand what you’re going through and I’m happy to help however I can.
Do I need a vet referral?
No referral needed, just get in touch directly to arrange your test.
