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.

*Please note that the number of puppies provided is an estimate, as gestation sacs tend to hide behind one another, which may result in an unintentional duplication during the counting process.

Scan 2 – Detailed View

Once the pregnancy reaches 50+ days gestation, it’s the perfect time for a rescan to confirm the pregnancy’s healthy advancement and to get a comprehensive look at the puppies. As part of our service, we offer heartwarming photos and videos via email, making it a wonderful keepsake for you.

Scan 3 – Post Whelping

Your pet’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. That’s why we offer a scan to ensure that the bitch has successfully given birth and to check for any potential issues, such as retained afterbirths.

Benefits

Detects potential life-threatening problems that will require immediate vet referral including:

What To Expect At The Appointment

Appointment length: please plan for a duration of up to 45 minutes for your pet’s appointment.

Step 1

Your pet’s well-being is our primary concern. Before beginning the scan, we invest time in getting to know your furry companion, explaining the procedure, and filling out an informed consent form to ensure a pleasant and stress-free appointment.

Step 2

When everything is set up, we’ll place your pet on a comfortable vet bed mat to examine their stomach area. To ensure their comfort and relaxation, we’ll kindly ask for your assistance in keeping them in position during the scan. Your pet can either lie down on their back or stand up, based on what they feel most at ease with.

Ensuring optimal scanning conditions, we will coat your pet’s stomach area and the probe head with ultrasound gel before commencing the scan.

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.

Whenever feasible, we will pause the screen to provide a detailed explanation of what we observe during the scan. Additionally, we can capture cine clips to showcase specific moments and email them to you along with any images taken during the appointment.

Step 4

Once the scan is finished, we will carefully remove any remaining gel to minimize 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.
