NovoDog Ovulation Sticks were developed for breeders and dog owners who are planning a litter. Some bitches have very light seasons and it can be difficult to know when they are ovulating and when the most favorable time for breeding is present. Most bitches are ovulating between 10 and 14 days after the start of their season but some bitches can ovulate as early as day 5 and as late as day 21. The optimal mating time is 2 days after ovulation, which can be hard to determine without an indication. These Ovulation Sticks can help you determine when the optimum time for breeding should take place. Ovulation Sticks are cheap, easy and less stressful for your bitch. You can use Ovulation Sticks if: � You have to travel far with your bitch. � Earlier seasons have been irregular. � The Bitch has not been pregnant in spite of breeding. � The Bitch is going to be mated with an inexperienced dog. � You know that artificial insemination is necessary. How does it work? NovoDog Ovulation Sticks measure directly on the enzymes that are affected when the level of glucose in the bitch is increasing. They indirectly measure the level of estrogen, as these go hand in hand. There are several hormones that help to regulate the season cycle and the subsequent pregnancy. Estrogen: stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. Luteinizing hormone LH: stimulates the ovaries to release the egg. Progesterone: Maintains pregnancy. Dogs are ovulating when levels of estrogen and LH are declining and progesterone is rising. Be aware that fresh semen is viable for 5 to 7 days.
