When To Scan?
Scan 1 – Pregnancy Confirmation
At the optimal timeframe of 30-35 days from the last mating, our team performs the first scan, which is instrumental in confirming pregnancy, estimating the number of puppies, and determining the due date.
*Please take note that the indicated number of puppies should be considered an estimation, as the presence of gestation sacs overlapping each other can occasionally lead to a duplication in count.
Scan 2 – Detailed View
At 50+ days gestation, a follow-up scan is conducted to ensure that the pregnancy is advancing as anticipated and to obtain a detailed view of the puppies. As part of the package, we offer the option to receive photos and videos via email, serving as a cherished keepsake.
Scan 3 – Post Whelping
We understand the importance of ensuring a smooth birthing process for your pet. With our additional scan, we can provide peace of mind by confirming that the bitch has completed the birth process and by ruling out any retained afterbirths.

What To Expect At The Appointment
Appointment length: your pet’s appointment is scheduled for an estimated time of 45 minutes.
Step 1
At our clinic, we strive to create a positive and relaxing experience for you and your pet. We start each appointment by spending time with your pet, making them feel comfortable and at ease. We will guide you through the scan procedure, share our expectations, and ensure all necessary consent forms are completed.
Step 2
Once the scanning equipment is properly set up, we will position your pet on a comfortable vet bed mat, specifically targeting their stomach area. Throughout the scan, we kindly request your collaboration in helping your pet remain in position, ensuring their relaxation and cooperation.
Before beginning the scan, we will apply a sufficient amount of ultrasound gel to your pet’s stomach area and the probe head.
Step 3
Throughout the scan, we will make necessary adjustments to the scanner’s settings to enhance picture quality. By starting at your pet’s tail end and moving up the midline, we can thoroughly examine the interior to confirm pregnancy and assess viability by identifying individual heartbeats.
If suitable, we will freeze the screen to provide an in-depth explanation of our observations. Additionally, we can record cine clips to document key moments and send them to you via email, along with any images taken during the appointment.
Step 4
Once the scan is finalized, we will meticulously clean off any excess gel, reducing the need for self-cleaning.
We will be ready to address any queries you might have and offer pregnancy and whelping advice if necessary.
Should the initial scan not show a positive result, we offer the possibility of a rescan. Within 7-10 days of the initial scan, you can take advantage of our discounted rescan service. Please note that the visibility of the pregnancy may become clearer as the gestation period reaches around 30 days.
