The SmartBreeder Online Ultrasound Course

Start your journey in animal ultrasound

Our Animal Ultrasound courses are designed for breeders who wish to scan animals competently rather than pay expensive prices at the Vets. Ultrasound scanning within the home environment is much less stressful on animals and saves the inconvenience of transporting potentially pregnant mothers to veterinary practices.

Ideal for those wanting to start a new ultrasound business or add an additional service to an existing business; i.e dog groomers, microchip implanters, fertility clinics.
