Dog Desexing

Why is desexing your dog so important?

Desexing prevents pregnancy and the oestrus cycle in female dogs, reduces testosterone-linked aggression in males, reduces wandering, prevents territorial marking, and removes the risk of reproductive-organ disease.

What to expect at the vet’s office

Your dog is fasted overnight, admitted and given a health check before anaesthetic, and monitored throughout surgery and recovery — most dogs go home the next morning.

FAQ

Best age for desexing a puppy? Traditionally 5–6 months for small/medium dogs — ask your vet for large breeds over 15kg.
