💼 How to Add £1,000+ Per Month Offering Canine Fertility Services From Home

Let’s be blunt — you don’t need a huge clinic, fancy premises, or years at uni to start earning properly in canine fertility.


What you do need is:

✔ skills

✔ confidence

✔ the right equipment

✔ proper training


That’s it.


There are breeders up and down the UK quietly making an extra £800–£2,000+ a month from home, simply by offering services other breeders can’t do themselves.


If you’re already experienced with dogs, this isn’t complicated — it’s just adding a few professional services to what you already do.


Here’s how the numbers actually stack up.



🧪 1. Cytology & Ovulation Testing



This is one of the easiest and most reliable income streams.


Most breeders hate guessing mating dates. They want certainty.


Typical pricing:


  • £40–£60 per test

  • Many girls need 2–3 tests per season


So just:


  • 10 clients per month


    = £800–£1,200


From literally a microscope and 15 minutes of your time.


Once you know what you’re looking at, it’s quick, clean, and very repeatable work.


🖥️ 2. Pregnancy Ultrasound Scanning


This is where things get even easier.


Breeders want reassurance. Waiting 9 weeks not knowing is stressful.


Typical pricing:


  • £40–£70 per scan

  • Takes 5–10 minutes


Scan just:


  • 5 dogs per week


    = £1,000+ per month


Portable scanners now mean you can:


  • work from home

  • travel to clients

  • or do yard visits


Low stress, high return.


💉 3. Microchipping


Simple skill. Always in demand. Legally required.


Typical pricing:


  • £10–£20 per puppy


One litter of 8 pups = £80–£160

Do a few litters weekly and it quickly adds up.


Plus it brings repeat customers who later book scans, testing, and advice.


🏠 Why home-based works so well


You don’t need:

❌ a shop

❌ staff

❌ big rent

❌ expensive overheads


You can literally set up:


  • spare room

  • garage

  • garden clinic

  • mobile service


Which means most of what you earn is profit, not expenses.


It also fits around real life — school runs, family time, horses, dogs, everything else going on.


You control your diary.


⚠️ The bit people skip (and regret)


Here’s the truth most don’t say:


Buying equipment without training is where people mess up.


Guessing cytology slides.

Scanning badly.

Giving wrong dates.

Looking unprofessional.


That kills confidence fast.


Proper training means you:


  • know exactly what you’re doing

  • protect yourself legally

  • look credible

  • charge professional prices (not “mates rates”)


And clients trust you straight away.


🎓 Getting started properly


If you’re serious about adding services, start with:


  • Cytology & ovulation testing

  • Ultrasound pregnancy scanning

  • Microchipping


Those three alone can comfortably replace a part-time wage.


All are available through ProPet Training, with CPD and international accreditation with ICOES, designed specifically for breeders and small home setups — not vets.


Straightforward. Practical. No fluff.


Bottom line


If you’re already breeding or working with dogs and not offering fertility services, you’re leaving money on the table.


There’s huge demand.

Very little competition locally.

And it doesn’t take years to learn.


A few skills can genuinely add £1,000+ per month without turning your life upside down.


Honestly?

It’s one of the easiest upgrades you can make in this industry.
