Our dedicated team is here to provide urgent, high-quality care for your pets because they’re family and deserve immediate attention when it matters most!

Trusted Pet Breeding Services and Breeding Management

Effective breeding management begins with a clear understanding of your goals and your dog’s reproductive health. Our pet breeding services include comprehensive care for both male dogs and females, guided by experienced veterinary professionals and skilled veterinary technicians.

Services provided include:
  • Fertility evaluation and semen collection for stud dogs
  • Progesterone testing to determine the ideal breeding time
  • Artificial insemination and surgical insemination options
  • Coordination for frozen semen use and embryo transfer referrals
  • Full planning support for breeders raising litters or preparing dogs for competition
With so much at stake from the financial investment to your dog’s health, it’s essential to have expert guidance throughout the process. We offer proactive, responsive support to increase your chances of success while minimizing risks for your dog and puppies.

Understanding Progesterone Testing and Timing

Timing is critical in canine reproduction. At our clinic, we use in-house progesterone testing to help determine the precise day for artificial insemination or natural breeding. Progesterone levels rise during the heat cycle and offer the clearest indicator of ovulation.

Our process includes:
  • Initial baseline test to establish the cycle’s start
  • Follow-up testing every 1–2 days to track progesterone levels
  • Determining the optimal window for insemination or live mating
Accurate timing increases the likelihood of conception and helps you avoid missed cycles or poor litter outcomes. We’ll also help schedule related services like surgical procedures or shipping for frozen semen as needed.

Male Fertility and Semen Handling for Breeding Success

For breeders working with proven or prospective stud dogs, managing male fertility is essential for sustained success. At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we support the long-term viability of your male dog’s reproductive role with targeted services focused on semen quality, collection protocols, and future use.

Our team evaluates sperm health and viability using in-house techniques designed to assess morphology, motility, and volume. Whether you’re planning for on-site artificial insemination, need to transport frozen semen, or want to preserve genetics for future breeding, we ensure your dog’s contributions are handled with precision. We assist with:
  • Collection protocols suited for fresh, chilled, or frozen storage
  • Pre-breeding fertility evaluation for young or aging studs
  • Planning for delayed-use litters through frozen semen preservation
  • Troubleshooting low count or performance variability with support from experienced veterinarians
Stud dog fertility is often under-monitored until problems arise. By proactively managing semen health, we help you protect your breeding program’s future and improve predictability in your outcomes.

Hear From Our Pet Parents

“ Dr. Sam saved my baby...

My dog Aurora had mouth cancer. I found out and had such little time to schedule her surgery because it was so aggressive. I was referred to Dr. Sam by a friend. I live in Santa Barbara and made the trip up to Sacramento. I am still impressed how well everything went! She had to have almost half of her jaw removed. She is cancer free and looking amazing! Back to her puppy self. First picture is only 2 months after surgery! 2nd and 3rd are the day of. Dr. Sam saved my baby

“ The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none...

I drove 95 miles to have Dr. Sam at Broadway Vet perform surgery on my kitten. The hospitality and professionalism demonstrated by the entire staff was second to none and I will be a return customer for all my future veterinary needs! My kitty bounced back so quickly because Dr. Sam is an expert in his field and knew just what needed to be done. Highly recommend Broadway Veterinary Hospital! Thanks, Dr. Sam!
