Concerned about an unwanted litter or your dog straying? De-sexing is the right thing to do.

There are lots of positive reasons to de-sex your dog. Call us to chat through the advantages and to find out about our approach to this very common and important procedure.

De-sexing a male dog usually takes place at around 6 months old and is a straightforward procedure. Once performed you don’t have to worry about him wanting to find other females and he’ll usually become more relaxed. For female dogs, removing the uterus stops her being ‘on heat’ twice a year, there’s no more worrying about unwanted litters and mess around the house. Dog shelters are full of unwanted dogs, do the right thing!
