How do you all handle charging breeders for pre-mating progesterone? I know some are sending sample off themselves – so consult fee and blood sample fee? how about revisits for subsequent samples? reduced fee with RVN. Are some doing in house (i know Idexx do progesterone)? Or are some sending to external labs? Just a bit concerned that it gets pricey and I am told corporates are (currently) providing such tests quite cheap
Hi Ben
Had this from Sue Bello at Essex Vets – hope it helps!
Essex Vets have our own 360 machine in house so we have results in 20 mins, we charge £30 per test in total, we then build up a relationship with the owner and make a scan and c section plan if the breed required it
We progesterone test in house with AI360 and samples can be ran though IDEXX Catalyst too but it is much more costly through the Catalyst. For non veterinary ‘canine fertility clinics’ prices are around £30 per test with no consult fee. Our tests are £50 per test, no consult fee and that cost remains the same whether they need 1 or 10 tests.
Thanks all, loving the vesture community!
