I have now had my new Progesterone Machine for just under 12 months. With just over 400 samples being taken the results have been simply outstanding. Dogs that have missed before have now got into whelp. Owners that thought dogs were ready have been mated a week later in some cases.
After purchasing the cheaper WONDFO machine (and binning it very quickly) prior to this ands seeing its ridiculous results, i was very sceptical about investing in this machine.
This new machine is ONLY available to Vets and im lucky to be able to have it thanks to Hannah Thomas vets who take any blood samples for me that need taking. It is illegal for anyone except a qualified vet or vet nurse to draw blood from a dog. If anyone does do this that is not qualified and damages your dogs nerves in its legs or puts air into the blood you will not be covered.
We take bloods on a Tuesday and a Thursday routinely and if required we can re sample on a weekend.
NO dog has ever needed bloods to be taken every day. The previous result will determine when we need to re sample if needed. Most people only need one test.
It’s £60 for the Progesterone test here. Results within 1 hour.
I do also do cytology if dogs are really unhappy being sampled. This has also been a very useful tool over the years as resulted in lots of successful pregnancies.
