Desexing is a way to stop unwanted pregnancies in dogs and cats. The surgery removes the reproductive organs of the animal, making it impossible for them to have litters.

Yes, generally desexing is safe. Our vets and veterinary nurses are on site to make sure that your furry friend is safe and comfortable, both during surgery and recovery. The night before surgery do not feed your pet anything after dinner. The vet performs a full panel of blood tests and does a full physical before your pet goes to surgery.

You should keep your dog or cat in an appropriately sized crate for the first 7 days to restrict their movement if possible. Monitor the incision site daily for redness, oozing, bleeding, missing sutures, inflammation or heat, and report any of these immediately.

Every pet is unique and the ideal time to desex depends on their species, breed, size, and individual health conditions — speak to your vet during your first visit.

Does a dog or cat need to have a litter before desexing surgery? No — there is no scientific proof of any benefit to letting a pet have a litter first.

How much does it cost to desex your pet? Cost varies by species, breed, size and health — speak with our team for an estimate.
