Technology advances again and has now allowed us to either delay or induce estrous (heat)cycles in bitches with more ease and accuracy than ever before.

Ovuplant is a hormone contained in a pellet. This is inserted under the mucosa of the vulva. Typically, the patient will come into heat within 3 to 5 days, and be ready to breed 7 to 10 days after she comes into season (11 to 14 days after insertion). The implanted drug pellet MUST be removed to maintain pregnancy. This is a prescription drug and must be inserted and removed by a veterinarian. The use of this product allows you to have control over the time you breed. This can be valuable for bringing bitches into heat for travel, specialties, to avoid scheduling conflicts in your personal life, or to produce puppies when you need them, such as for futurities.

Mibolerone drops can be used to prevent estrous. This can be helpful in delayin estrous in bitches who tend to have abnormally short periods between heat cycles or who are competing in dog events and should be kept out of heat to maximize their performance. It can also be used to allow you to time her litters. By preventing estrous cycles, we can preserve the uterine lining of bitches, in many cases allowing them to remain fertile longer than if they were cycling frequently and aging their uterine lining. This is a prescription drug that must be compounded for your use.
