VCheck Progesterone Test

For Determining Optimal

Breeding Results

Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries and placenta that helps prepare and maintain the uterus for pregnancy. Vcheck canine Progesterone is an in vitro
diagnostic test kit for the in-clinic, quantitative measurement
of progesterone concentration in canine serum. Progesterone levels begin to rise around the time of LH (Luteinizing Hormone) surge. Thus, the production starts prior to ovulation at the end of proestrus and reaches increased levels at the time of ovulation. Vcheck’s canine Progesterone test allows for the identification of optimal breeding dates and reproductive disorders, allowing veterinarians to quickly prescribe decisive treatment plans.

Clinical Applications

• To determine optimal breeding dates

• To predict parturition dates or time a Cesarean section

• To detect reproductive disorders such as split heats, delayed puberty, silent estrus or hypoluteidism
