Benefits of scanning
Scanning is a safe, non invasive procedure involving digital ultrasound. A gel is applied to the abdomen which allows us to get a clearer image of the pregnancy. All breeds are scanned in the standing position so as not to cause any discomfort or stress. Some breeds may have to have a tiny area of hair shaved on their underside so that we can get a better contact with the skin. This is only ever done with prior conscent from the owner. All owners are invited to be present while the scan is done.
The best time to do the scan is 30 days from the last mating. This allows us to get a better all round picture of the pregnancy.
