What is Transcervical Insemination?

Transcervical Insemination is an advanced reproductive procedure that uses a specially designed endoscope and catheter to guide semen through the cervix and into the uterus.

Unlike surgical insemination, TCI is performed with the bitch awake and standing comfortably, making the procedure significantly less invasive while achieving excellent conception rates.

The timing of insemination is carefully determined using a combination of:

  • External and in-house Progesterone testing
  • Vaginal cytology
  • Vaginoscopy
  • Individual breeding history
  • Semen quality assessment

Why Choose TCI?

Transcervical Insemination as a method of intrauterine insemination offers many advantages over surgical insemination. Intrauterine insemination is essential for frozen semen breedings due to the reduced longevity and quality of frozen semen samples. Benefits of TCI include:

  • No surgery or general anaesthetic
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • Suitable for frozen, chilled and fresh semen
  • Usually completed in just a few minutes
  • Allows repeat inseminations if required
  • Reduced stress and faster recovery
  • Excellent conception outcomes when correctly timed

Dr. Jasmin and Cass truly care about their patients. They take the time to listen, understand the issues, and review previous consultations in detail. Their thorough approach leaves no stone unturned, and they provide a comprehensive letter that clearly outlines all possibilities along with recommended follow-ups. This makes it much easier to explore the next steps with confidence. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking answers to reproductive health concerns—their knowledge and dedication are outstanding.

I would highly recommend Veterinary Reproduction Consultancy to any dog owner who has a dog that won't serve a bitch naturally. I have recently used their services with my miniature fox terrier with great success - 5 puppies after years of no successful breedings!
