Dull and pretty much blunt needle. I have plenty of experience drawing blood from dogs. If you don't have needles on hand you will have to buy your own to use this

If you are not professional, do not try this. Using the needle is way harder to find the vein than the youtube video suggests. It was not very easy- again I am not a pro. The test was easy to read but its hard to do if you haven't tried.

I have training in venipuncture, so this was a SNAP for me. I had to use a smaller guage needle for my own comfort, experience, and ease of use. I drew 1.5ml of blood and used my mini centrifuge to spin down the serum. I did skip the step to use the buffer due to having a centrifuge and collection tubes, but this may have been a mistake in regard to results. While I'm not thrilled with a negative result after having my hopes so HIGH and this being an AI breeding, this has provided me some peace of mind, as my other girl was bred the same day and is definitely expecting. If she is indeed not expecting, we will try again in the Spring.Just for informational purposes, do not test Relaxin levels before 28 days gestation. The earliest Relaxin begins to rise is around 20-24 days. As I am not sure what serum level many of these tests are sensitive to, allow time for your dog's serum levels to rise before testing! Also, depending on sensitivity, a small litter may not produce enough serum Relaxin levels until over 55 days and under 60 days, or not at all.

The blood never really separated. When we tried to do the test the blood went up past the test line and could not be read. Waste of money and they will only refund you if send it back. Im not sending back a bloody needle and bloody test. 😒

First thing to note is that you MUST have experience drawing blood from your dog, otherwise your dog becomes a living pin cushion while you try and find a vein. Secondly, even if you have experience drawing blood, the needle provided is far too small and dull to perform an extraction properly. Finally, even if you are able to overcome all of these obstacles, the reagent tube and test strip are less than a 50% chance of being accurate. I promise you that it is worth your time, money, (and most importantly your sanity) to skip this cheaply made test and have it done by a qualified veterinarian.

Great product, came right on time within estimated shipment date and I was surprised since it was also the holidays!First of all great instruction but I do believe the solution mix should come in a separate container as it looked like there was none and had to wait over 3 hours for the serum to separate from the clotted blood.Secondly, the needle provided could easily be used for a jugular vein on a horse. Way to big, so needed to supply my own needle with the proper sizing for a dog jugular or leg vein.But lastly, I wasn’t expecting a positive with all these reviews but we ended up getting a positive! Will keep updated if it was correct and we have a litter!!

The test took around three weeks to arrive. My dog was accidentally bred by a male that climb the 6 foot fence and got into thr yard. I was not sure if they had got together or not. I needed a test to tell whether she had been bred or not, the vets in this area would not or could not do a test unless they spaded her, and I did not want her spayed, it that's the test taking that long to come was useless because she would've been too far along in her pregnancy. The test kit came as advertised. I would buy it again if they could guarantee it would be there in a few days.

Blood won’t separate been over an hour I’m lost what to do update the clot of blood does not sink to bottom but you have to grab it out and throw it away as you only one the other stuff lol so the rest works you have to let blood sit till you see some separation and then use something to grab out the clot and bamn you have serum your serum will not be clear because you don’t have the machine so google images of separated blood won’t help I DEFINITELY had a little blood in my serum and my test still came back positive now my dog is due any day because I got her pregnant and have had her almost 2 months so her levels may be higher
