Services Available

​ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
We use a non-surgical procedure called transcervical insemination that yields at least equal pregnancy rates to surgical procedures. Transcervical insemination is an outpatient endoscopic procedure that is fast, pain-free, and done without sedation.

SEMEN COLLECTION, EVALUATION, FREEZING, AND TRANSPORT
To ensure the highest quality of semen and best chance of pregnancy, we collect, freeze, and ship semen, as well as help you evaluate and select semen collected elsewhere. Using state-of-the-art techniques, we can extend the fertilizing capabilities of canine semen longer for various breeds, resulting in greater survival of superior genetics.
