The test measures relaxin hormone which is present during gestation. Relaxin hormone is a reliable biomarker for determining dog pregnancy.

The test’s accuracy is 96 %. The Bellylabs pregnancy test was compared to a confirmed medical diagnosis. The study involved 70 performed tests. The test has been tested for more than 30 dog breeds. Dog sizes varying from 3 kg to 80 kg.

The test measures relaxin hormone which is a reliable indication of dog pregnancy. For the best accuracy we recommend testing after 28 days has passed from ovulation. There is no harm in testing earlier. Relaxin hormone is produced by the developing placenta following implantation of the embryo, and can be detected in the blood in most pregnant females as early as 22 to 27 days post-ovulation but there might not be enough hormone for a reliable detection yet. This is why if you test before 28 days have passed and get a negative result, we recommend testing again in 5 to 7 days time.

No, unfortunately it does not. The test measures relaxin hormone, that is present when your female is pregnant. This hormone is produced by the developing placenta following implantation of the embryo. We cannot promise that the pregnancy will successfully reach full term.

How to use the test

The test kit contains all necessary components for completing the test procedure. All you need is your dog and timer.

Before you start, read the instructions leaflet and watch the instructional video: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH_JyVP-Pwo
Please make sure that test kit components have reached room temperature.

The sampling is easy and safe to do. Use one of the 2 lancets provided to snap your dog’s inner lip. Use one of the 2 lancets provided to snap your dog’s inner lip. A small drop of blood will appear that is easy to collect to the sample swab. Keep collecting blood until the swab is red throughout and will no longer absorb more blood. If there is not enough sample (full swab), use the spare lancet for another snap.

At this time getting a reliable and accurate reading of relaxin hormone will require the test to be run from a blood sample. Only a small droplet is required however.

The lancet is similar to that used on human newborn’s heels for sampling in hospitals. It is safe and reliable to use. The dogs do not even notice the sampling in almost all cases.

TIPS FOR TESTING

When the swab will no longer absorb more sample when it is rolled on the lip. We recommend rolling the sample on the sample a few more times after you feel the swab is full. It will appear dark red and full and there will be no white or paler areas on the swab. Please note that it is impossible to collect too much on the swab but on the other hand an inadequate sample might leave the pregnancy undetected.

The blood flow can be helped by tilting the dog’s nose downwards or releasing your hold of the dog’s lip for a moment. If there is still not enough sample (full swab), use the spare lancet for another snap.
It is easier to obtain a sufficient sample from a dog that has been active. A little walk or play before testing enhances the blood circulation and might ease testing.

If your dog is a heavy drooler or you feel you can get a better hold of a dry lip we recommend patting the inside of your dog’s lip, the area you plan on taking the sample from, with a tissue or a clean towel before taking the sample.

Usually the bleeding stops almost immediately. You can add a few seconds of pressure to the sample site with a tissue if there is still bleeding.

This depends on how big your dog is and what you find comfortable. We recommend placing small dogs on a table or couch. Medium dogs can be easily held between your knees. Big dogs are best left sitting or standing on the floor next to the person performing the test. This all depends on each individual dog´s behaviour and what they are used to. We would recommend having help present if you have not tested your dog before.

Gestation days may vary up to 4 to 7 days, if calculated from mating and the time of ovulation is unknown. A progesterone test can be performed to precisely determine ovulation before mating. If calculated from mating, we advice you to add a couple of days to your calculation.
