Before your pet's procedure, our veterinarian will perform a health examination and pre-anaesthetic blood work to identify any underlying concerns and ensure they are fit for anaesthesia. We'll also discuss the procedure and answer any questions you may have.

Desexing, also known as spaying for females and neutering for males, is a surgical procedure to prevent pets from reproducing. This not only helps to control the pet population but can also reduce certain health risks and behavioral issues.
Yes, desexing is generally considered safe and is a common procedure performed by vets. Risks are minimal, and our experienced team prioritises your pet’s health and comfort during the process.
It’s typically recommended to desex pets between six and twelve months of age, but this can vary based on the specific breeds, needs and health conditions of your pet. Consult with our vet for personalised advice on your breed.
Desexing can help prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain reproductive cancers and serious uterine infections. In male dogs, it can also reduce the risk of conditions such as perineal hernias. Desexing may also help with some hormone-related behaviours, including roaming and marking.
Following desexing, it’s common for pets to become more relaxed and calm. While their personality remains largely the same, some behaviors linked to their reproductive urges may diminish. This can lead to a more harmonious household.
