Home Pregnancy Tests for Dogs?

Is your pet just getting fat, or could she be pregnant. Now there is an easy and inexpensive way to find out.

Determining whether your dog was pregnant was often very difficult in the early stages of pregnancy. Increasing weight or the enlargement of mammary tissue was not consistently accurate. Waiting until fetal structures could be palpated by a veterinarian or visualized on x-rays or on an ultrasound was not always economically feasible.

A San Diego based pharmaceutical company has recently released a "while you wait", 15 minute test that can detect pregnancy as early as 21-35 days. A typical canine pregnancy last only 62-65 days. This early, cost effective blood test will provide answers concerning unwanted or false pregnancies in the privacy of your veterinarians' office. The best way to avoid unwanted births and the hardship of pet overpopulation is to have your pet spayed or neutered as early as 8-12 weeks of age.
