Dr. Orchard's RTU Canine Semen Extender for Dogs - 3 Day - 20ML - Long Term Canine Semen 20ML - Protects Dog During Shipping or Storage, No Mixing Required

I have used this semen extender multiple times now for shipping canine semen and I am very impressed. I have had a substantially higher motility rate at arrival than any other extender I've used. As much as over 95% but consistently over 90% which is fantastic for chilled shipped extended semen. It does come in glass vials with a screw cap vs the needle puncture style pictured in the add. I have and will recommend and continue to order this extender. While it is more expensive than standard types I feel it's well worth the extra money to ensure great viability.

Worked well. Semen made it to location. Easy to use and store. Worth it

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.

Easy to use as directed, plenty of extender for the price Although I Warmed extender to body temp, add to semen and used. After about 10 minutes we looked under a microscope and all the semen were moving slow and basically died. Tested new specimen of semen again under microscope 2 days later and semen was jumping for a long time.

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.
