Pregnacy Test

Is there such a thing as a pregnacy test for dogs, or a way to know if a breeding took before they actually start showing?

I'm sure there is but you will know in three to four weeks if you watch closely. I can wait that long rather than spend the money to find out sooner.

Ultrasound. Dogs do not have the hormone fluctuations like humans do.

There is a hormone test but it can't be done until 30 days after conception. By then, you can palpate the little suckers...feel like walnuts and a week or tow later the bitch will show usually. Never thought it was worth the money.

x-rays at 42 days, blood test at around 21 days (longer you wait the more reliable), ultrasound before that.

Witness Relaxin Test. Can be used at I believe 28 days. I personally don't like to palpations, have been unreliable in my experience. The pregnanct test requires a blood draw and spin to get serum, after that it is almost like a human pregnancy test, 2 bars and they are pregnant.

My vet chareges $90 for the test. I have now bought the test and my vet is going to show me how to do the blood draw myself, as I am 50 ,miles away

My vet charged $60 for the relaxin test(28 days). He really likes that test, he said he it has been 100% so far. It was right with my female---not PG.

Dog Dr, you do a blood draw, overnight shipping and the cost of the lab to do the test for $28? Or do you do it in house? I bought the tests from Witness, and they cost $20 a piece which is the same that my Vet can get them for.
