Has anyone tried this before - any vets out there think this is a crazy idea? The test works on women by determining hormone levels - would it work the same in dogs. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Sorry I should have added the woman's test won't work with dogs as it tests for a different hormone. The dog test tests for Relaxin. In dogs the progesterone level stays elevated for 60 days or so regardless of whether or not they were bred or are pregnant .
