RTU Canine Semen Extender for Dogs - 3 Day - 20ML - Long Term Canine Semen 20ML - Protects Dog Sperm During Shipping or Storage, No Mixing Required

I ordered two or three of these boxes for use at my English Mastiff kennel. I have to wait until my dogs go into heat to be able to use it, but it seems easy to use, good value for the money, and a solid investment in my program. I have one male and two females, so this stuff will help me stretch his product in case they both come into heat at the same time. Functionality and product build quality both good.

This product is supposed to extended the shelf life of semen. It's mostly used for shipping live semen. I use it to extend the volume. My studs is small (11lbs). He doesn't produce as much "product" (semen) as larger dogs. The AI kit used includes a rather long tube then a syringe. My studs "product" doesn't full the tube, let alone the syringe so...... Adding the extender gives me more liquid/product making it easier to artifically inseminate my female.You receive two well packaged and well cushioned vials. The expiration date is clearly marked on the box. Once you add the extender to the "product", it must be used within 3 days.The only downfall is the packaging states that to maximize the shelf life it needs to be refrigerated yet it wasn't shipped refrigerated and I'm in Florida where it's horrible for. Since I go directly from stud to female, I don't think this will be an issue but do keep that in mind if you plan on shipping live semen.

First time using this product; used it to extend fresh xl bully semen from Seattle to Eastern Pennsylvania overnight and mission accomplished, we have a confirmed pregnancy. I highly recommend and won't use any other product than this. Thank you!

Works but not long enough we compared with another one the same date and we time it and compare the quality and this one is okay but not for shipping
