Hospital Stories
WSU’s theriogenology team fills reproductive care gap for livestock producers
Washington State University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital is home to one of the nation’s leading comparative theriogenology services, providing advanced reproductive care for species ranging from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, pigs, camels, goats and sheep.
New reproductive service preserves cat genetics for years to come
Woodford, a 2-year-old Maine coon, recently became the first cat at the WSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital to have his semen frozen using a specialized process that allows it to be maintained indefinitely for future breeding.

Jan Thoemke has years of experience responsibly breeding dogs, but when her 18-month-old Cavalier King Charles, Grace, unexpectantly became pregnant, she turned to Washington State University to ensure the safety of her beloved dog and her litter.
