Desexing is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures and is completed numerous times daily. Generally it is a day procedure and your pet is dropped off to us in the morning and able to return home to you later that day- after lots of cuddles of course! Our Operating Rooms (OR) are fitted with the latest monitoring equipment, along with highly trained staff to ensure your pets are in the safest hands. We have also included the added comforts of a heated surgery table, relaxing music and how could we forget, the extra TLC!

Recommended age for desexing can be a complicated topic dependant on breed and circumstances and can range from 4 months through to 2 years. However, the simple answer for most pets is to desex at around 6 months of age.

There are many benefits to desexing your pet at a young age, including:

• Reducing the chances of mammary cancers in females

• Reducing prostate problems and cancers in males

• Eliminates testicular cancer in males

• Help prevent infections within the uterus (pyometra) in females

• Stops your pet from being in season (on heat) in females

• Reduced council registration fees

• Less territorial and can decrease aggression

• Less likely to wander as they are not looking for a mate

• Prevention against unwanted litters of puppies and kittens

• Reduces the spread of infectious diseases and fight wounds
