It has been used in research on dog cancers and shown to have an 
immunomodulatory and anti tumor effect

Chorionic gonadotropin is a drug whose actions are almost the same as those of 
luteinizing hormone 
(LH), which is produced by the pituitary gland. It is a hormone also normally 
produced by the 
placenta in pregnancy. Chorionic gonadotropin has different uses for females 
and males.
In females, chorionic gonadotropin is used to help conception occur. It is 
usually given in 
combination with other drugs such as menotropins and urofollitropin. Many women 
being treated 
with these drugs usually have already tried clomiphene alone (e.g., Serophene) 
and have not been 
able to conceive yet. Chorionic gonadotropin is also used in in vitro 
fertilization (IVF) programs.
Neither dogs nor cats produce a chorionic gonadotropin

It has been used to treat cancers in dogs

I could find no studies on its use in dogs to increase conception like it does 
in humans
