The role of the dog in human life has evolved significantly in recent years. The need to control their reproduction has gone hand in hand with this evolution.
Assisted reproduction is the management of four fundamental elements, namely:
– Management of the breeding male
– Management of the breeding female
– Management of mating: mounting or artificial insemination?
– Management of gestation and parturition or caesarean section.
Assisted reproduction is becoming one of the most demanded services both with professional breeders with specific specimens and private owners who wish to breed their pets under strict veterinary controls (as in human reproduction).
At the Puerto Venecia Veterinary Clinic (GRUPO UNAVETS), we offer a full range of reproductive services in order to control canine reproduction:
– Full examination of the bitch: control prior to mating, control of the sexual cycle: determination by cytological control and progesterone. Gestation diagnosis, parturition management and control.
– Physical examination and anamnesis of the breeding male, semen check, semen collection and evaluation, semen handling: conservation procedures: refrigeration, semen freezing.
We provide the full range of services and are specialists in:
– Vaginal, transcervical or endoscopic insemination.
– Semen refrigeration and freezing. We have refrigeration kits for sending semen with an autonomy of 48 to 72 hours. After performing a spermiogram and seminal viability test, we freeze the number of doses required by the breeder.
– We have a SEMEN BANK, a catalogue of elite dogs to commercialise their refrigerated and/or frozen semen: dogsemenbank.com
The aim of this brief presentation is to provide you with an insight into our activity and work, including the processes involved in canine assisted reproduction.
