To complement our high quality grooming services, we offer a non-invasive, mobile ultrasound pregnancy scanning service using a professional touchscreen VIS Scanpad to confirm pregnancy/non-pregnancy of your bitch. The Scanpad has a large 15″ crystal clear display with a microconvex probe making it ideal for small animal work. There is no shaving or sedative involved and the whole procedure is safe and pain free. For best results your bitch should be scanned (ideally) between 28 and 35 days from mating. Scans will usually last around 20 minutes and during this time we will explain what you are seeing and what we are looking for. Although pregnancy/non-pregnancy can be confirmed, we will not quantify the number of puppies present for several reasons. It is possible in some dogs who may be having a large litter, for the pups to hide behind each other. In others, the bitch may re-absorb part or all of the litter, resulting in less or no pups at all. Just like our grooming equipment, the scanning equipment is sterilized thoroughly between scans to prevent the potential spread of bacteria and viruses.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCANS ARE FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT REPLACE VETERINARY ADVICE.
