Dog Artificial Insemination in Sarina

Artificial & Surgical Insemination

Canine reproduction can be very tricky. We have been doing dog artificial insemination with frozen dog semen at Sarina Veterinary Surgery for a number of years now, and have had great success. Insemination with frozen semen is very precise. We only have a 6-hour window in which to get the semen into the bitch.


To get the timing right, we need to do a series of blood tests starting from day 5 of bleeding. These samples need to be taken over a number of days, and the progesterone levels measured and graphed. This will give us the optimal time to inseminate.


We have produced Basset hounds, American Staffordshire Bull Terriers, German Shepherds, English Bulldogs, Whippets and Cattle Dogs over the years. It’s important that if you’re considering frozen insemination as an option that you contact the surgery with plenty of time to spare, so that we can make sure that everything is organised.


We do store some cattle AI straws at the surgery for artificial insemination of cows. We can inseminate using these straws or we can use ones you may have bought.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does dog artificial insemination work?

    Dog artificial insemination involves carefully timing the procedure to match the female’s cycle. Blood tests are used to track hormone levels and determine the optimal time, as the window for successful insemination can be very limited.

  • How long does the artificial insemination process take for dogs?

    The process can take several days, as multiple blood tests may be required to track progesterone levels and identify the right timing. The insemination itself is quick, but preparation and monitoring are essential for success.

  • Can artificial insemination be used with frozen dog semen?

    Yes, artificial insemination can be performed using frozen dog semen. This method requires precise timing, as there is only a short window for successful fertilisation once the semen is introduced.
