______________________________________________________________________________ How To Read Results: - After completing the Bellylabs Dog Pregnancy Test, read the results within 10-15 minutes. A positive outcome is indicated by both the Test (T) and Control (C) lines appearing. A negative result will only display the Control (C) line. If the Test (T) line alone is visible or no lines appear, the test is invalid and should be repeated. Be aware that the strength of the lines does not influence accuracy, and results after 15 minutes may not be dependable.
______________________________________________________________________________ Interpretation of Results: - The Bellylabs Dog Pregnancy Test indicates pregnancy with a positive result, and it's best to follow up with a veterinarian. A negative result might suggest that your dog isn't pregnant, is experiencing pseudopregnancy, or that the test was done prematurely. Retest after one week if needed, and ensure the test is performed no earlier than 28 days post-ovulation. False positives can arise due to procedural errors, ongoing relaxin hormone, or specific medical conditions, so careful interpretation is key.
______________________________________________________________________________ After a positive result, it's recommended to consult a veterinarian. They can track the pregnancy and determine the number and condition of the fetuses using ultrasound or x-ray ______________________________________________________________________________ Storage: -
- Store at 36-86 F. Do not use if any packaging is damaged or compromised.
