Artificial insemination - fresh semen
I can perform side by side artificial insemination if a natural mating isn't possible. Another reason to perform Ai is to avoid passing on viral and bacterial infections such as the Canine Herpes virus which can be exchanged between the dog to the bitch during a natural mating. If performed correctly and at the right time, Ai can produce the same results as a natural mating. My equipment is individually sealed in sterile packaging and I use an Osiris catheter to deposit the fresh semen. With its design mimicking the natural mating process, the Osiris canine catheter stimulates uterine contractions thereby improving the flow of sperm cells to the oviducts. The inner telescopic flexible catheter with ball tip allows semen deposition at the entrance of the cervix and will prevent any backflow of semen making it ideal for use with fresh semen. It is rigid enough for easy insertion yet flexible enough for comfort. Further benefits of the Osiris catheter are:
  • Non Traumatic Flexible Body / Inflatable Cuff at the front end of probe / Inner telescopic flexible catheter with ball tip / ​Avoids any risk of injury
  • No need for speculum / Avoids any backflow of semen / Induces Vaginal Contractions / Allows semen deposition at the entrance of the cervix.
Does your bitch keep missing or re-absorbing litters? Has your bitch missed from chilled, frozen or processed semen? I use a product that can be Inseminated into the bitch two days before the insemination of semen or natural mating. This product will not only normalise the ph of the bitch and take away the very thing that helps pus and bacteria grow and it will also put a coating on the dorsal folds to feed the semen and help it on its way to its destination. It is non medical and all natural so will not hurt your bitch. This product SGR© was developed by Andrea Dolce-Little and is patented and copyrighted to her and her company ICEIILAB ltd.
