When To Scan?

Scan 1 – Pregnancy Confirmation

The initial scan is typically conducted between 30-35 days from the last mating, serving to confirm pregnancy and providing an ideal opportunity to estimate the number of puppies and determine the due date.

*It’s important to note that estimating the number of puppies can be challenging as gestation sacs frequently overlap, leading to the possibility of counting them twice.

Scan 2 – Detailed View

At the ideal stage of 50+ days gestation, a rescan provides valuable insights into the pregnancy’s progress and offers a detailed glimpse of the puppies. Included in our service are heartwarming photos and videos sent via email, ensuring a delightful keepsake for you and your beloved pet.

Scan 3 – Post Whelping

We offer an additional scan to provide you with peace of mind by ensuring that the birthing process is complete and there are no retained afterbirths.

What To Expect At The Appointment

Appointment length: please allocate approximately 45 minutes for your pet’s appointment duration.

Step 1

Your pet’s comfort is our top priority. We start each appointment by introducing ourselves to your furry friend, allowing them to become familiar with our presence, and explaining the scanning process to create a stress-free environment.

Step 2

After ensuring the scanning equipment is ready, we will proceed by placing your pet on a cozy vet bed mat, focusing on their stomach area. To achieve optimal results, we kindly ask for your assistance in keeping your pet calm and steady during the scan.

To facilitate the scan, we will apply a generous layer of ultrasound gel to your pet’s stomach area and the probe head.

Step 3

While conducting the scan, we will make meticulous adjustments to the scanner’s settings to attain the highest level of picture quality. Our evaluation will begin at your pet’s tail end, moving along the midline to thoroughly examine the interior and confirm pregnancy, while also identifying individual heartbeats to assess viability.

If applicable, we will pause the screen to provide a visual explanation of our findings. We can also record cine clips to capture important moments and share them with you via email, along with any images obtained during the appointment.

Step 4

After the scan is carried out, we will carefully wipe off any excess gel, minimizing the need for self-cleaning.

We will be at your disposal to respond to any inquiries and provide expert advice on pregnancy and whelping, if necessary.

If the initial scan does not reveal a pregnancy, we can discuss the option of a rescan. You have the opportunity to schedule a discounted rescan within 7-10 days of the initial appointment. It’s worth noting that the visibility of the pregnancy may improve as the gestation period progresses, particularly after 30 days.
