Females must be 18 months of age or older to qualify for our ovulation timing services. Get the details organized Please, if you have not already done so, provide us with a copy of your pet’s registration papers. We also need to have signalment of the bitch or dog and the contact information for the “other half of the breeding,” as the case may be. If you are the bitch owner, then we need the dog’s info and the contact information for his owner and the collecting veterinarian. If you are the dog owner, then we need the bitch’s signalment and the bitch owner’s and receiving vet’s contact information. AND we need to know how the breeding will be conducted (vaginal, TCI or surgical insemination) and how many shipments are to be sent. And when we are receiving shipments, we need to get the tracking number for the FedEx or UPS delivery as soon as it becomes available. Be aware that frozen semen shipments take AT LEAST 2 days because a full day is required to charge the shipping container prior to shipping.

  • Veterinarian (DVM Or VMD)
    What you need to know about becoming a Veterinarian (DVM or VMD) Veterinarians are the primary health care providers for pets, livestock, zoo, sporting and laboratory animals. Some veterinarians also work in research to protect humans from diseases carried by animals and food. Veterinarians working with food animals may be involved in food safety and the monitoring of animals for communicable diseases. Most veterinarians diagnose health problems, administer vaccinations, perform surgeries and educate people on how to care for their animals. They are trained to use a variety of diagnostic equipment, including radiographic and ultrasound machines. Where do they work? Veterinarians work in a variety of settings. Most veterinarians work in private practice with household pets, but they can also be found dealing with animal issues surrounding Research Food safety Food animals, like pigs, cows and Food security other livestock Large animals Pre-Health Advising 140 Decary Hall University of New England Biddeford, ME 04005 (207) 602-2792 [email protected] Transforming Passions to Professions on the Beautiful Coast of Maine Veterinary students complete four years of graduate study to become licensed to practice medicine.
