Measuring Progesterone in breeding dogs is used to:

When is the best time to mate your bitch?
We recommend that you start serial progesterone measurements 3 to 4 days after you see a bloody discharge from your dog’s vulva. Progesterone testing is continued every second day until the progesterone levels ovulation. Using these results, the vets will be able to recommend the best days to mate your bitch to take advantage of your dog’s peak fertility.
