Artificial Insemination Methods

1

Surgical Insemination

Surgical Insemination is an outpatient procedure. This procedure is recommended for bitches five years of age and older, also for bitches who have previously failed to conceive. During this procedure a small abdominal incision is made and the semen is implanted directly into the uterine horn. This allows the doctor the opportunity to examine the uterus for any abnormalities. We strongly recommend surgical inseminations for frozen semen breedings.

Trans-Cervical Insemination

Trans-Cervical Insemination is an outpatient procedure. This procedure is done with an endoscopic camera and requires no anesthesia or sedation for cooperative bitches. The semen is inserted through the cervix opening and into the uterine body. This procedure is the most commonly used at our hospital.

Vaginal Insemination

Vaginal Insemination is also an outpatient procedure. This procedure is done with a silicone tube; an inflatable cuff at the end simulates a natural tie. This insemination requires no anesthesia or sedation for cooperative bitches. This procedure places semen directly into the vaginal canal. This is recommended for high quality fresh or fresh chilled semen.
