Where can i buy a dog pregnancy test?

Question

Where can i buy a dog pregnancy test?

I cant afford to go to the vet, is there anything I can buy online?

This is for everyone on here who was rude and nagging.First I didn't try to breed my dog.

I suspected she might be pregnant do to body change and nipple size. I called a vet and they told me it would be around 160 dollars.

I asked "where can I buy a dog pregnancy test" on here to find out if I can buy one. I thought they were cheap, and I could find out. So that way I can save up money to take her to the vet if she is pregnant.

You nagging me is not answering my question, or good advice.

Answer 1

The dog pregnancy test checks for the hormone relaxin level in the blood. You have to buy 5 at a time and are very expensive, I think it would be much cheaper and easier to have the vet do it.

Answer 2

Pregnancy Test For Dogs

Answer 3

Canine Pregnancy Test

Answer 4

Lots of bashing, not much information. Sheesh.
I totally understand why you would want to save the $160 for the rest of her care. Plus, no one needs to spend money unnecessarily!

Nipple change - look for a slight grayish (or lavender-ish) tinge to the nipples between her front legs. It's not conclusive if she doesn't have it: Some dogs won't.

Palpation - the vet can push around on her abdomen, but that's pretty hit-or-miss also. I wouldn't burn a vet visit just for that.

X-rays - please don't until the last 2 or 3 days of her term. Those little bones need to mature before they're bombarded with x-rays.

Appetite - her appetite will pick up. You'll need to ~slowly~ (5 days) change her over to a high-quality puppy food, and begin feeding twice a day. I'ad ask the vet for the timing, since you don't want extra weight to complicate whelping.

Hope something in here helps...

Answer 5

I inherited a 4yr old spitz I was TOLD had been spayed. Call me stupid but i NEVER inspected for a scar and never noted the LACK of one. I went with the info. My aunt gave me. She had never even had a heat....well a year into our care a stray female in heat was wandering around the neighborhood. (I never miss a checkup. I get heart worm meds, all shots kept up to date...she's afraid of storms and has her own xanex prescription...so I take CARE of my animals...I'm a tad appalled how this poster was treated....I wouldn't pay $160 for a vet to say "yep she's preggo now come back xxx and give me $$$....hell they don't even do that for HUMANS. The "pregnancy confirmation at the doc is $15!!! Not even charged to insurance. A HUMAN insurance picks up after a confirmed pregnancy so why the HELL CHARGE $160 just to SAY preggo or no". I would want to squirrel away that $160 for future care as well...it's called SMART...not neglectful). Rant over...but anyway back to my OWN baby. She went into heat!! I was googling "how can a spayed dog have a heat cycle" I felt kinda stupid when we realize she's NOT spayed. We had all of her precious records transferred from another state.
Soooo....the one cycle (and I ONLY noticed it because the male dogs sniffing around...I figured rhey were smelling the OTHER female on her becsuse rhey play...we immediately kept her inside 24/7 and leashed to go out. We planned and saved for her to be spayed with her next check up which was due in 7mo. She had another heat!! We missed even signs. She's in the house 90% of the time....now she's 3weeks layer and FAT
I'm not feeling anything so far....but we are taking her in. Shes SMALL....amd not to sound like a breed snob but the dogs around here are big...I don't know how they could have could have even Locked up so I praying. We will have them aborted. I know that sounds terrible but I won't loose my pea to birthing huge dogs she wasn't made to carry. THEN have her spayed during thst surgery.

Answer 6

Only place i know of is, the vet. But, they might be at pet stores...or you can just wait until she gets fatter or the signs of pregnancy!

Answer 7

Maybe you could just call the vets, they can probably give you some names that would be good to check out.

Answer 8

i have never heard of a dog HPT - i suggest you go to the vets they will prob. do blood test.
the human tests pick up a uniquely human hormone so its not as if you can try and hold one in her pee... hmm, yeah... ask the vet.

good luck

Answer 9

You can't. It has to be done with vet testing.

Answer 10

No such thing as dog pregnancy test. you could wait until she stars getting fat in about 4 or 6 weeks or just wait 45 days after she tied with the male. Take her to the vet for an ultrasound. It only cost about $50 for the ultrasound.

Sorry but if you can't afford to take your dog to a Vet then what are you going to do if your dog gets seriously sick or has a complication during the birthing? How are you going to afford the shots, de-worming, and vet check the puppies are required to have before they are re-homed at 8 weeks of age. Not to mention all the puppy food you'll be buying to feed all the hungry puppies until they all find homes.
