Reproduction

We understand the integral role your furry companions play in your life, and our commitment to their health extends to comprehensive reproductive services. Our expert team stands ready to guide you through every stage of your pet’s reproductive journey, from optimal stud collection timing to seamless fresh semen shipment.

At Plantation Park Animal Hospital, we pride ourselves on providing unparalleled care, ensuring that your pets receive the attention and expertise they deserve as they embark on the exciting path of reproduction.

We require AKC registerable breeds to have the age-appropriate required OFA and CHIC health testing. We will not breed any dog younger than 2 yrs of age. Designer breeds should have the health testing required by the foundation breeds used to create the designer dog. Imported dogs with country specific health testing is accepted, such as SV. If you need information about what testing is required for your breed, please refer to these websites:

If the dog is registered with the AKC we require a copy of the registration. In the event that a co-owner is listed, we will need written permission from both parties that they elect to breed the dog.

Additionally, we require that any dog we work with, for breeding, is fully vaccinated with the following: DHPP, Lepto and Rabies. Here at Plantation Park Animal Hospital, we follow the same health check guidelines as NC State Vet School Theriogenology Department.
