We recommend desexing your dogs and cats
as a normal part of responsible pet
ownership.
Desexing is best carried out before 6 months of
age, and for females, prior to coming 'on heat' or 'in season'.
Early desexing is beneficial for a number of reasons and no dog or
cat is too old to be desexed.
Desexing benefits male as well as female pets and
is usually day surgery. Desexing is provided to you at a
substantially discounted fee compared with equivalent types of
surgery. In this way our practice promotes and supports responsible
pet ownership in our community. There will be a surcharge if an
animal is 'on heat' (in season) or for males if both testicles are
not present externally.
We provide 15% discounted early desexing for
kittens under 4mths of age (strictly 1 to 2kg bodyweight) to reduce
pet overpopulation, feral cats and straying.
It is
estimated there are over 4 million dogs and 3 million cats
currently in Australia.
Our country having one of the
highest rates of pet ownership in the
world.
