Fertility Test for Dogs
GetTested’s Fertility Test for Dogs helps you identify the most suitable breeding window by monitoring progesterone levels during your dog’s heat cycle. The test can support the timing of natural mating and artificial insemination, especially when accurate timing is important.
The rapid test is performed at home using a small blood sample and provides a semi-quantitative result in 5–10 minutes.
About Fertility Test for Dogs
Find the Right Time for Breeding
Ovulation does not occur at exactly the same point in every dog, and behavioural signs alone may not always show when the optimal breeding window has been reached.
By monitoring changes in progesterone, the Fertility Test for Dogs can help estimate when ovulation is approaching and when mating may be most appropriately timed. This can be particularly useful when planning breeding in advance or when using chilled or frozen semen, where timing is especially important.
What This Test Measures
Key Benefits
Find the right breeding window: Use progesterone changes to help estimate when mating may be most appropriately timed.
Support breeding planning: Useful for both natural mating and artificial insemination.
Fast results at home: Read the result in 5–10 minutes.
Follow the heat cycle: Monitor changes over time rather than relying only on behavioural signs.
Simple colour-scale interpretation: Compare the test line with the supplied progesterone scale.
What the Test Measures
The test measures progesterone, a reproductive hormone that changes throughout the female dog’s heat cycle.
It provides a semi-quantitative indication of progesterone levels rather than an exact laboratory value. The colour intensity of the test line is compared with the supplied scale to help estimate the stage of ovulation and the corresponding breeding window.
Understanding the Result
Compare the colour intensity of the test line with the supplied progesterone scale.
8 or above (≥8): Progesterone is at a basal level and ovulation is still some distance away. Breeding is not yet recommended.
6 to 8: Ovulation is approaching or may have just occurred. Breeding may be suitable in approximately 3–5 days.
3 to 6: Ovulation is expected within less than one day and the eggs are maturing. This is the optimal fertile period, with breeding expected to be suitable within 0–3 days.
Below 3 (<3): The eggs have matured and are beginning to age. Fertility is decreasing, with breeding estimated within 0–1 day.
Repeated testing after signs of heat begin can help show how the cycle is progressing.
How It Works
1. Collect the blood sample
Use the supplied lancet to collect a small whole-blood sample from the dog.
2. Prepare the sample
Add one drop of blood to the sampling bottle, mix well and leave it to stand for 2 minutes.
3. Apply the sample
Place the test cassette on a flat surface and add 3–4 drops from the sampling bottle to the sample well.
4. Read the result
Allow the test to develop for 5–10 minutes, then compare the test line with the colour scale.
Results read after 10 minutes should not be interpreted.
What’s Included?
1 test cassette
1 sampling bottle with buffer solution
2 lancets
1 disposable plastic pipette
1 instruction leaflet
1 medical waste bag
Storage
Store the test kit at 2–30°C and keep it away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. The unopened test is stable until the expiry date shown on the foil pouch.
Important Information
The test provides a semi-quantitative indication of progesterone levels to support breeding timing. It does not determine whether a dog is generally fertile or infertile and should be interpreted together with other relevant reproductive information.
