Reproductive Services

 For the last 13 years our professional Reproduction team at West Coast Veterinary Center offers experience in providing reproductive services to meet the needs of all of our breeders. We are here to work hard as a team when making decisions for the result of healthy puppies, sires, dams, and future generations.

Before you decide to breed your pet consider a Breeding soundness exam. These exams may include, a full female reproductive exam, ovulation testing and timing along with a plan for possible breeding challenges. For the male, a full male reproductive exam and complete semen evaluation, including progressive motility, morphology, and concentration.

We offer Quantitative progesterone testing to accurately time ovulation for an optimal breeding date.  Once your dam is bred we follow up with a ultrasound to confirm pregnancy and go over pregnancy management. As the due date approaches we offer digital radiographs and go over the whelp date plan.  

Our doctors will always do their best to accommodate the needs for breeding's or C-sections, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Advanced notice and progesterone testing is required for on-call services. (A non refundable on-call fee is required on all on-call services in advance)

We look forward to helping you with all your breeding needs.

To note:

For each dog or cat sold in Florida, (Florida statue 828.29) the United States Department of Agriculture, requires certain tests, vaccinations and deworming that must be administered by or under the direction of a veterinarian, licensed by the state and accredited by the United States Department of Agriculture, who issues the official certificate of veterinary inspection.  

We typically do these exams with appropriate testing, vaccinations and deworming at or around 8 weeks of age.
