Desexing your pet at Dr Spot ensures that your pet receives a safe and professional surgical procedure with an experienced veterinarian and a dedicated nurse.
Our experienced team of vets and nurses are dedicated to ensuring that your furry friend receives the highest quality of service, from vaccinations to surgery
Our pet will also receive pain relief before, during, and after the procedure, as well as an overnight hospital stay for monitoring and recovery.
Dr Spot offers pre-anaesthetic blood testing and intra-operative fluid therapy for an additional fee to support your pet during the procedure.
We give you clear guidance on how to prepare your pet for the procedure. Please read more on our pre-operative instructions page.
Desexing your pet helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and the associated costs of breeding, such as potential caesarian sections. It also reduces the risk of infections and cancers, such as breast or ovarian cancer and uterine infections in females, and testicular, prostate, and anal cancer in males.
Desexing can also reduce roaming behaviour and the chances of fighting with other animals or being hit by a car. It can also help prevent possible behavioral problems such as aggression, excessive weeing, and spraying, making your pet more trustworthy with your family and more pleasant to walk or live with.
Dr Spot recommends desexing your young pet from 5 months of age, but they also offer desexing services for older pets if needed. Please speak to one of their nurses about desexing your pet.
We provide pain relief during and after the procedure to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible.
We hospitalise our patients overnight to ensure adequate recovery time and an examination by the veterinarian prior to discharge.
With proper diet control and exercise, your pet should not put on weight after being desexed.
If performed early in an animal's life, desexing can help prevent potential behavioural problems such as aggression, excessive urination, and spraying.
