Dog Transcervical Insemination - TCI

Transcervical insemination (TCI) is a highly effective and minimally invasive technique for breeding dogs, and we are proud to offer this advanced service to our clients. Our clinic utilizes the latest technology in TCI procedures, ensuring the highest standards of care and success in canine reproduction.

Why Choose Transcervical Insemination (TCI)?

TCI is an excellent option for dog breeders who are looking to maximize the chances of successful conception while minimizing stress and discomfort for their dogs. Unlike surgical insemination, which requires anesthesia and involves more risk, TCI is performed without the need for surgery. This procedure involves the careful placement of semen directly into the uterus through the cervix, using specialized equipment.

One of the key benefits of TCI is its ability to be used with fresh, chilled, or frozen semen. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for breeders working with semen from distant locations or preserving valuable genetics for future use.

Cutting-Edge Technology from Karl Storz

Our TCI procedures are carried out using state-of-the-art endoscope equipment from Karl Storz, the world's leading brand in medical and veterinary endoscopy. Known for their precision, durability, and reliability, Karl Storz endoscopes are unmatched in the industry. The advanced imaging capabilities of this equipment allow us to visualize the cervix and uterus with exceptional clarity, ensuring accurate placement of the semen with minimal discomfort to the dog.

By employing the latest Karl Storz endoscope unit, we are able to offer a TCI service that is both efficient and highly effective. This cutting-edge technology plays a crucial role in our success, particularly when working with frozen semen, where precise placement is essential for optimal conception rates. For being more specific it offers us precise visual guidance, paired with a high-definition camera unit for real-time monitoring. This advanced system, supported by a state of the art cold light source, provides unparalleled clarity during the procedure. Additionally, we only use the highest quality catheters, designed for accuracy and safety, to ensure optimal success rates.With our commitment to using top-tier equipment, you can trust that your pet is receiving the very best care.

The TCI Procedure: What to Expect

The TCI procedure is straightforward and typically requires only a short visit to our clinic. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Pre-Procedural Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation of the female dog’s reproductive health and timing of ovulation to ensure that the insemination occurs at the optimal time. This may include hormonal testing and vaginal cytologies.
2. TCI Procedure: Using the Karl Storz endoscope, the semen is carefully deposited into the uterus. The entire process is performed without the need for general anesthesia, making it safer and less stressful for the dog.
3. Post-Procedural Care: After the procedure, your dog can return home immediately. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
