Ultrasound Scanning
Ultrasound scanning is a safe non invasive procedure that does not require your bitch to be sedated at all. Jacquie is a trained level 2 sonographer and with years of experience of dealing with all types of dogs, can help nervous bitches feel at ease.
Most scans are done at our premises however we do offer a mobile scanning service, which is great for post whelping scans to check that the bitch has finished whelping. Most scans are done in the standing position as the bitch is often more comfortable with this than being made to lay flat.
Please Note: To get a clear scan image, it may be necessary on some breeds for hair to be clipped from the bitches under belly, however this is always done with the owners permission. A small amount of water based gel is used to ensure a clear image is produced.
Scanning can take place any time after 28 days from the last mating, but we advise scanning around day 35 of your bitch’s pregnancy for optimum results.
Prices for scanning from £28 for scan at our premises.

On RCVS advice we cannot guarantee accurate puppy numbers, there are many reasons for this, the main one being it is very difficult to accurately predict numbers due to the anatomy of the bitch and the embryo's can often be hidden and therefore missed. It is also possible for the bitch to absorb puppies up to the 42nd day of pregnancy.
