Overview

When natural mating is not possible or preferred, some pet owners turn to artificial insemination to breed animals. We offer various artificial insemination techniques that produce less hassle for the owner and less trauma for the animals.

Why would my pet need artificial insemination?

Artificial insemination has become a popular method of mating for animals who are unable to naturally reproduce. Some breeders actually prefer artificial insemination to successfully reproduce their animals. Artificial insemination benefits include increased conception rates and increased safety of the animals involved.

When can my pet be artificially inseminated?

The perfect time to inseminate your pet will depend on the breed and age of the animal. Other factors your veterinarian will take into consideration are the female animal’s fertile cycle and the quality/count of the male animal’s sperm. The option of freezing or chilling semen allows flexibility in the artificial insemination practice.

Since every pet is unique, we will determine the best time for insemination based on individual circumstances. Generally, we begin monitoring from day 5 of the female's heat cycle. Please notify us on day 1 when the cycle starts so we can schedule accordingly.

How will my pet be artificially inseminated?

Artificial insemination can be completed with fresh, chilled, or frozen semen. Techniques include vaginal insemination, trans-cervical insemination, and surgical implant.

Your veterinarian will recommend the best method of artificial insemination after examining your pet.
