Reproductive Services

Care Animal Hospital provides reproductive services to pet owners and breeders alike, including semen collection, freezing, shipment, and trans-cervical and surgical insemination.

Semen Freezing

The use of canine frozen semen has increased dramatically in recent years. As a result, top breeders are now considering frozen semen an integral part of a complete breeding program.

The are many advantages of frozen semen:

  • Multiple matings from a single collection
  • Breeding to an unavailable stud dog (geographic, ill, or deceased.)
  • Long-distance and international breeding
  • Increased gene pool
  • More offspring from excellent studs
  • Guarantee top-stud breeding availability to future generations.
  • Preserve the genetic line you've worked so hard to develop.
  • More revenue for your kennel

Fresh-Frozen Semen Collection and Shipping

  • Excellent conception rates
  • Allows for long-distance and international breedings
  • Spreads your top bloodlines to otherwise inaccessible areas to improve the entire breed


Transcervical Endoscopic Insemination

An endoscope is used to locate the cervix and pass a catheter through it for intrauterine insemination. There is no need for anesthesia and surgery with this technique, which yields excellent conception rates when high quality chilled or frozen semen and a healthy bitch are used.

Surgical Insemination

During a short abdominal surgery, semen is directly injected into the uterus. This technique provides excellent conception rates when semen quality is low, when using low-dose frozen semen, or when the female has fertility problems related to the cervix.
