Dog Breeding
Quality Dog Breeding
If you need help with dog breeding, look no further than the experts at Animal Medical Center of Jonesboro. Our skilled veterinarians will assess your pet’s health to ensure that they’re in good physical condition to breed and deliver a healthy litter.
Advanced, Effective Artificial Insemination
Artificial insemination is constantly improving, and one of the most effective improvements in the field is the Mavic catheter. It allows us to perform transvaginal insemination that places the semen in an optimal position to fertilize the egg. Our Mavic catheter system boasts a very high conception rate.
In certain cases, surgical insemination is preferred. We are able to perform this safe and highly effective procedure. This involves creating a small opening into your pet’s abdomen to gain access to the reproductive tract so the semen can be deposited directly into their uterus where it will join with the egg.
Prenatal & Postnatal Care
To ensure your pet is healthy enough for reproduction, we offer extensive prenatal services including:
- Breeding soundness exams (including a physical exam of reproductive organs, semen evaluation, mating ability, and libido)
- Disease screening (such as OFA evaluations, EIC testing, embryology testing)
- Ovulation timing
- Semen storage (with our partner semen bank)
Once pregnant, prenatal care includes as little or as much involvement from us as needed for your pet. She will have different nutritional needs, a different exercise routine, and other minor changes that could be overlooked by owners inexperienced with the breeding process. If, however, you are a veteran in dog breeding, you can contact us only when needed. When your pet’s time comes to give birth, we can be there to administer any care needed, including performing C-sections and postnatal care.
