Our Services: Making Pet Dreams Come True

With our expert guidance, your pet’s dreams can become a reality. Knowing your pets are in the best hands, you’ll find peace of mind. Plus, our recommended breeder resources offer valuable insights. Our comprehensive services cater to every aspect of breeding, ensuring the health and well-being of your beloved pets:

Breeding Soundness Exams and Consultations

Before embarking on the journey of breeding, it’s essential to ensure that your pets are in the best possible health. Our dedicated team conducts comprehensive breeding soundness exams and consultations, addressing any concerns and guiding you through the process.

Brucellosis Testing

Responsible breeding starts with health screenings. All breeding animals should undergo brucellosis testing before participating in the breeding process, guaranteeing the health and safety of both parents and offspring.

Breeding Timing

Achieving successful breeding requires precise timing. Our expertise in vaginal cytology, progesterone testing, and LH testing allows us to pinpoint the optimal time for mating, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy.

Ultrasound Pregnancy Confirmation

The excitement of a potential pregnancy can be nerve-wracking. Our advanced ultrasound technology can confirm pregnancy as early as 21-28 days from breeding, providing peace of mind and a glimpse into the future.

Pregnancy Radiographs

As the big day approaches, our hospital offers pregnancy radiographs to accurately estimate the number of puppies expected in the final week of pregnancy. This information is vital for planning and ensuring a safe and healthy delivery.

In addition to our services, Heartland Animal Hospital offers a curated list of recommended books for breeders, including:

  • The Complete Guide to Whelping and Rearing Puppies by Muriel Lee.
  • The Dog Breeders Guide to Successful Breeding and Health Management by Dr. Peggy Root Kustritz.

These resources provide valuable insights for pet breeders, assisting you on your journey to responsible and successful breeding.
