Canine Progesterone Testing Cost & Savings Calculator
How Much Could You Save Testing Progesterone In-House?
If you regularly pay for canine progesterone testing, bringing testing in-house may significantly reduce your cost per test while giving you more control over when you test.
Use the calculator below to compare what you currently spend on progesterone testing with the estimated consumable cost of running tests on your own canine progesterone analyzer.
Enter:
-
How many progesterone tests you perform each month
-
What you currently pay per test
-
Your estimated in-house cost per test
The calculator will estimate your monthly testing cost, monthly savings, and potential annual savings.
Ready to Bring Canine Progesterone Testing In-House?
K9 Reproduction carries multiple canine progesterone testing systems so you can choose an analyzer based on budget, testing volume, portability, test cost, and workflow rather than being locked into one manufacturer.​
​
What Does Canine Progesterone Testing Really Cost?
Outside progesterone testing can become expensive quickly when a female requires multiple tests throughout her heat cycle.
The true cost can include more than the test itself:
-
Progesterone test fees
-
Repeat visits
-
Travel time
-
Fuel
-
Scheduling around clinic availability
-
Multiple females being tested during the same breeding season
For breeders testing regularly, these costs can add up over the course of a year.
An in-house canine progesterone analyzer changes that model by allowing you to perform testing on your own schedule and pay primarily for the test cartridge or reagent plus basic sample-preparation supplies.
Some canine progesterone systems can have consumable costs around $9–$15 per test, while others may cost more depending on the analyzer, test-kit pricing, quality-control requirements, and supplies used.
Important: The calculator above estimates ongoing testing savings. It does not include the initial purchase price of the analyzer.
When Does Buying a Canine Progesterone Machine Make Sense?
The more frequently you test, the easier it becomes to justify bringing canine progesterone testing in-house.
For example, even a $30 difference per test becomes:
10 tests/month = $300/month
20 tests/month = $600/month
40 tests/month = $1,200/month
Over a full year, the difference can become substantial.
Breeders with multiple females, reproduction facilities, stud programs, and people who frequently help other breeders with testing generally have the greatest opportunity to reduce ongoing testing costs.
But cost is only part of the equation.
In-house testing also gives you the ability to test based on the female's progression rather than being limited by outside laboratory hours or appointment availability.
