Hi every body.I have been reading my wifes old pregnancy books which we bought when she was pregnant and i just wondered if the pregnancy testing kits you buy from boots would work on dogs.I know it may sound like a daft question but i wondered if somebody may know.Maybe you can already buy a testing kit for dogs i dont know.If not maybe its time they did.Thanks

No, there is no such kit available for dogs, because these measure hormone levels in the urine. After a bitch has had a season she releases the same hormones whether she's pregnant or not (this is one of the causes of false pregnancy). The scientist who can patent a reliable, easy test for dogs will make a fortune!
