Canine Reproductive Services


Eastern Pet Integrative Care Veterinary Hospital provides canine reproductive services with Dr. Hebe Lin. We are providing pre-breeding exams, OFA certification (Hips, Elbows, Shoulders, Patella, BAER hearing test, RFGS, Basic Cardiac, Thyroid etc.), ovulation timing, artificial insemination, semen evaluation and frozen semen storage, pregnancy ultrasound/radiograph and Cesarean Section.

**All dogs are required to be health tested per their breed club recommendations prior to breeding. Please see https://www.ofa.org/ for recommended tests based on breed.


Pre-Breeding Exam:
We offer OFA certifications, including Hips, Elbows, Shoulders Radiographs, Patella, BAER hearing test, RFGS, Basic Cardiac, Thyroid etc.

In house Progesterone Test:
We interpret progesterone level and determine when is the best time for breeding and best time for C-section. We invested in a brand new MiniVidas Progesterone Machine for precise and timely results.

Artificial Insemination:
We offer ovulation timing and TCI (trans-cervical insemination) or Trans-Vaginal insemination based on the type of semen used (Fresh/Chilled/Frozen).

Semen evaluation and Frozen semen storage:
We evaluate semen, prepare chilled semen shipment and long term frozen semen storage.

Pregnancy Ultrasound and Radiograph:
Ultrasound can be used to confirm pregnancy as early as 4 weeks pregnancy. Radiograph can be used to provide accurate puppy count.

Planned Cesarean sections and whelping:
We offer planned C-section as some breeds are prone to difficult labor.

BAER Hearing Test:
We offer BAER Hearing Test (Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response). Puppies are given this test between six and eight weeks of age, once their hearing is fully developed. Hearing tests are also available for older pets that may develop a loss of hearing as they age.

OFA Respiratory Function Grading Scheme (RFGS):
We offer RFGS test to evaluate if the dogs are affected by BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) and hopefully help breeders to lower the risk of producing affected puppies.
