Services Reproductive Services
At Blue Sky Animal Hospital, we offer reproductive services designed to support responsible breeding programs from pre-breeding planning through pregnancy and delivery. Whether you need semen collection and shipping, breeding timing, artificial insemination, pregnancy monitoring, or scheduled C-sections, our team provides practical, medically grounded support for breeders who want precision, preparation, and strong communication throughout the process.
Services Our reproductive services include:
Semen Collection and Shipping
Collection and shipment of semen for breeding programs, helping coordinate with outside facilities and optimize timing when natural breeding is not practical. Ideal for long-distance pairings and flexible breeding plans.
Semen Evaluation
Assessment of key fertility factors to support breeding soundness. Helps determine reproductive health and whether additional management or intervention may be needed.
Transcervical Insemination (TCI)
An advanced, non-surgical insemination method that allows precise breeding without surgical access. Useful when timing, semen type, or logistics require a more controlled approach.
Artificial Insemination
A structured breeding method that improves control over timing, semen handling, and logistics. Often used as part of a comprehensive reproductive plan.
Progesterone Testing
A critical tool in breeding management used to identify the optimal breeding window, estimate ovulation timing, and improve accuracy for due-date planning.
Ultrasound and Radiology
Ultrasound confirms pregnancy and monitors development, while radiology helps assess litter size and staging later in gestation. Together, they support informed pregnancy and delivery planning.
Scheduled C-Sections
Planned cesarean delivery for selected pregnancies where controlled timing and safety are essential. Timing is guided by progesterone trends and ovulation-based breeding data.
OFA Hips and Elbows
Radiographic screening for joint health in breeding dogs. Official OFA certification requires dogs to be at least 24 months old, though preliminary evaluations can be done earlier. Timing should consider heat cycles and weaning due to hormonal effects on joint laxity.
OFA Thyroid
Thyroid screening to support responsible breeding and detect conditions such as autoimmune thyroiditis. OFA certification begins at 12 months for normal results, with recommended follow-up testing as thyroid status may change over time.
Reproduction Reproduction Services
Blue Sky Animal Hospital provides reproductive services for breeders who want thoughtful planning, precise timing, and dependable veterinary support throughout the breeding process. From semen collection and evaluation to insemination, pregnancy monitoring, and scheduled cesarean delivery, our goal is to help you make informed decisions at every step. We offer semen collection and shipping, semen evaluation, transcervical insemination, artificial insemination, progesterone testing, ultrasound, radiology, scheduled C-sections, and OFA screening for hips, elbows, and thyroid. These services are commonly used in breeding soundness planning, ovulation timing, pregnancy confirmation, litter assessment, and responsible genetic health screening. Successful reproductive management depends heavily on timing. Progesterone testing helps narrow the breeding window and improves planning for breeding and delivery. Pregnancy imaging helps confirm and monitor gestation, while late-stage planning can support better decision-making around whelping and elective cesarean timing when indicated. For breeders focused on long-term quality and breed health, OFA screening plays an important role. Hip, elbow, and thyroid evaluations can provide valuable information for breeding decisions and help support healthier bloodlines over time.
If you are planning a breeding, managing a pregnancy, or need OFA screening, contact Blue Sky Animal Hospital to discuss the right reproductive plan for your dog.

Friendly, caring staff and amazing veterinarians!
My parents went to Dr. Johnson and Blue Sky over 30 years ago before I was even born. They bred and raised German shorthair pointers and he helped with everything from check ups to pregnancy. Later in life when we had to put our childhood dog to sleep, he came to our home to do it. Fast forward to now and I take all 3 of my cats there and I would never go anywhere else. Dr. Johnson is knowledgeable and down to earth. He’s great with animals and helpful with pet ownership. I’ve seen several other veterinarians there too without any issues. I’ve also gone to other clinics in the area before in a pinch and regret it. The experience was nothing like Blue Sky. The rest of the staff are also very kind and make you feel welcome. The clinic has that perfect small town vibe and they treat you like family instead of just another person who they’re making money off of. I’ve recommended Blue Sky to sooooo many people. You’ll definitely feel satisfied if you put your pets in their care.

Blue Sky has always been great about taking care of our animals!
We recently had a problem come up with our cat over the weekend and they got us on the schedule as soon as they could. They also gave us advice about taking care of our furbaby until the appointment. Thank you all for what you do!

Where Compassion for Pets Comes First
The staff are always friendly and they usually have openings if you need to schedule an appointment on short notice. The nurses are so wonderful and are willing to call you after office hours to discuss concerns you have with your pet. ALSO, Our male dog is afraid of the vet and they let us bring him in for “play dates” as often as we want for free. You can tell they care about your pets. Highly recommend
