Pet Insemination

Pet insemination is a safe and simple procedure that can be performed by our experienced veterinarians at Newton Falls Animal Hospital. This procedure allows us to place the spermatozoa directly into the female animal’s reproductive tract, bypassing the need for natural breeding.

Artificial insemination (AI) is the process of artificially introducing sperm into the uterus of a female animal. It is commonly used in livestock breeding, but can also be used with domestic pets such as cats and dogs. Newton Falls Animal Hospital in Ohio offers AI services for both cats and dogs. For cats, the hospital uses a frozen semen straw that is inserted into the uterus via a syringe. For dogs, the hospital collects fresh semen from the male dog and then Artificial Inseminates the female. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and generally takes less than 30 minutes. Artificial insemination can be an effective way to breed animals when natural breeding is not possible or when the male’s sperm quality is poor. It can also be used to introduce new bloodlines into a breeding program.

Surgical insemination is a technique used to breed animals. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed on both male and female animals. Newton Falls Animal Hospital offers surgical insemination for dogs, cats, and other small animals. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. Recovery is typically quick and easy, with most animals being able to go home the same day. Surgical insemination offers many benefits, including the ability to breed animals that are not able to mate naturally, avoid the stress of natural mating, and reduce the risk of injury during mating.
