Well i guess the question is do they accuratly work for telling when the dog ovulates? Because every Female is different and some may ovulate early or late and the counting and flagging may miss. I guess the meaning of them would be to determine ovulation and not just rely on flagging and counting days, would be a useful tool to breeders so they would not breed to early or late i guess? Also would be cheaper then taking your dog in for daily smears at the vet. I know for seasoned breeders they know when to tell but i guess it would be cool to just know for sure,especially if they had to have a c-section they would know the exact day of ovulation and could rule out preterm c-sections.

I am not even sure what these strips are? Are they like the diabetes blood tester things?
