PREGNANCY Test for Dogs – Canine & Feline Rapid At-Home RELAXIN Testing Kit

Description

WHAT IS RELAXIN AND WHY DO YOU NEED A BLOOD SAMPLE FOR A DOG PREGNANCY TEST:
Relaxin is a specific hormone generated mainly by the animal’s placenta. It is usually used as an indicator of pregnancy status in female dogs/cats. In pregnant pets, relaxin can be detected from 15 days after the nidation of fertilized egg in the uterus wall. Relaxin mostly concentrates in the bloodstream. While a minimal amount can be found in urine, urine detection requires urine concentration and more work. Therefore, it is easier to detect dog’s pregnancy using a blood sample. A PET CARE One Step Relaxin Rapid Test for dogs and cats is a quick method to detect relaxin in pet’s blood. The suggested detection period is 20-30 days after mating. Too early detection may lead to a negative result when relaxin in serum is too low. It is suggested to repeat the test after 1 week if a negative result was observed.

HOW TO TEST YOUR DOG OR CAT FOR PREGNANCY (RELAXIN LEVELS) AT HOME:
Checking your dog or cat for pregnancy at home is very simple. First, collect your pet’s blood sample (syringes are NOT included in the testing kit). Centrifuge the collected blood to separate serum from red cells, or place whole blood directly into the tube with anticoagulants to get plasma. Please note, our test kits do NOT include and blood collection equipment (syringes), as well as centrifuge.

After you have collected the sample, follow the included instructions. From the moment you obtain the sample, the test takes about 10-20 minutes to complete. After you perform the test, the results are available at place in 10 min. This is an ‘at-home’ test, no need to send it out to the lab. This is your VERY EASY TO USE nearby dog pregnancy test kit!

HOW DOES A-PET-CARE ONE STEP EARLY PREGNANCY TEST KIT FOR DOGS (RELAXIN TEST) WORK:
A-PET-CARE One Step Dog / Cat Pregnancy Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) for the detection of Relaxin in pet’s serum or plasma sample. The testing cassette has a testing windows. Each testing window has an invisible T (test) zone and C (control) zone. When the pet’s sample is applied into the sample hole of the device, the liquid will laterally flow on the surface of the test strip. If there is enough Relaxin in the sample, a visible T line will appear in the corresponding testing window. The C line should always appear after a sample is applied, indicating a valid result. This means, the device can accurate indicate the presence or absence of Relaxin in the dog’s or cat’s sample (a positive or negative result).

Results are ready in 5-10 minutes.
