A dog blood draw kit gives you the needle, syringe or butterfly setup, and collection tube needed to draw a small blood sample from your female dog for in-house progesterone testing. Everything in this collection is designed for breeder use at home or in the kennel, with no vet visit required for the draw itself.
Standard kits pair a sterile needle (typically 20-23 gauge) with either a syringe or a butterfly catheter and a Vacutainer-style tube. Butterfly needle sets reduce vein roll and hemolysis on small or wiggly dogs, which matters because a damaged sample can skew progesterone results. Syringe-and-needle kits are the economical choice for calm dogs and routine draws. Centrifuge tubes with caps, transfer pipettes, and tube racks round out the collection for handlers who process serum after the draw.
Draw from the cephalic or jugular vein using a sterile needle, collect 1-2 ml of blood, and transfer it to a tube without shaking. For progesterone testing on most analyzers, you'll separate the serum or plasma by centrifuging the sample before running the test. If you're new to drawing blood, you may want to talk to your vet.
Breeders testing multiple females per cycle go through needles and tubes quickly. Bulk needle, syringe, and tube packs bring the per-draw cost down and keep your supplies shelf stocked between cycles. Same-day dispatch applies when you order before 1:30 PM CST Monday-Friday.

Draw from the cephalic vein (front leg) or jugular vein using a sterile needle, collect 1-2 ml of blood, and transfer it to a collection tube without shaking. For most progesterone analyzers, you then centrifuge the sample to separate the serum before running the test. If you are new to drawing blood, you may want to talk to your vet. CanineP4 stocks sterile needles, syringes, butterfly sets, and collection tubes in its blood draw kits collection.
Most dog blood draws for progesterone testing use a 20 to 23 gauge sterile needle. A 21 gauge is a common middle choice for drawing 1-2 ml from the cephalic or jugular vein. Butterfly needle sets reduce vein roll and sample damage on small or wiggly dogs. CanineP4 carries kits with needles, syringes, and butterfly setups in breeder-friendly counts.
Most in-house canine progesterone tests need 1-2 ml of whole blood, which is then spun down to collect serum or plasma. A single small Vacutainer-style tube is enough for one test plus a re-run if needed. CanineP4 sells capped centrifuge tubes and collection tubes sized for this workflow.
A butterfly needle set is a short needle with flexible winged tubing that connects to a syringe or vacuum tube. The wings give better control on small dogs and wiggly patients, and the tubing reduces movement at the vein, which lowers vein roll and hemolysis. Hemolyzed (damaged) blood can skew progesterone results, so butterfly sets are worth the small extra cost on difficult draws. CanineP4 carries butterfly sets alongside standard syringe-and-needle kits.
