Desexing

In most cases, unless a dog or cat is intended for breeding, it is recommended to desex by six months. However, recommendations for desexing can vary based on breed and sex. It would be best to consult with your veterinerian on when it would be best to desex your pet. Our vets are also comfortable performing the procedure on rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents, and ferrets.

Desexing primarily prevents unwanted litters, but it can also reduce unwanted behaviors such as spraying or roaming. Certain health risks, such as mammary cancer and pyometras, are also reduced in a desexed pet.

This surgery is a day procedure with drop off in the morning and pick up the same afternoon. The surgery is followed by two included post-operative checks with our nurses at 3 days and 10 days.
