OVH - Artificial Insemination

Freezing semen from a proven male is a great way to protect and make use of lineage that might be lost to death, injury or disease. Frozen semen can be kept in storage for an indefinite period of time, to be used months or years down the line. It will outlive your dog.

Frozen semen is used in trancervical or surgical inseminations. The sperm cells are evaluated, counted, washed, concentrated and then chilled in a solution to protect and nourish them through the freezing process. After gently chilling and very slowly lowering their temperature, they are frozen through two freezing processes, until the desired temperature of -197 degrees Celsius is reached.

Frozen semen will last forever if it kept in its frozen state and it can be shipped anywhere (providing it can get there and be used within 10 days).

OVH - Artificial Insemination is open Mon - Fri 8:30am-5:30pm Sat 9am-4pm.
