Key Advantages of Cytology Over Progesterone Testing:
Speed and Convenience: Results are available in 5-10 minutes, often provided on-site by specialists.
Non-Invasive: It involves a simple swab.
Cost-Effective: Typically cheaper than regular blood tests, making it a more economical option for regular monitoring.
Diagnostic Value: It allows for the detection of bacterial infections, such as vaginitis or potential issues like pyometra, by examining vaginal cells.
High Accuracy: When used correctly, it accurately identifies the "cornified" cell pattern indicating peak fertility, aiding in better breeding management and increased litter sizes.
Detects Cycle Anomalies: Cytology can identify "split seasons" and accurately track hormonal changes throughout the cycle.
While progesterone testing measures hormone levels, cytology offers a comprehensive, real-time picture of the reproductive tract's readiness, making it a highly reliable.

Questions I'm often asked:
Does it hurt? - if done correctly, no. Technique is key.
My dog has a soft wire coat, I've been told it cant be stripped is this right? Simply answer, no. Technically all coat types can be stripped and doing so will improve the coat texture long term. If you clip you with blow the coat and ruin your dogs natural protection.

Many softer coated breeds are also historically hand stripped ie spaniels & setters.
Here at Fortmorrigan I can groom your dog with a breed specific techniques, for the best outcome for both the dog and you!

2025
It's been a rather unforgettable one, for both good reasons and bad. But wow, what an end to the year we've had.
The trauma, the heartache, the pain, and the fear.
The laughter, the love, of the ones we hold dear.
We'll say goodbye to the year with a sigh of relief. We'll steer on forwards, with optimistic belief.
