Dog Desexing available in Adelaide
Desexing or castrating a male dog eliminates, prevents or reduces the likelihood or incidence of:
- Urinating inside the house (marking territory) but not outside
- Mounting people's legs
- Straying (particularly when a bitch up-wind is in-season)
- Aggression (both inter-dog aggression, possevive and territorial aggression)
- Testiclar cancer
- Prostatic disease and cancer
- Reduces the constant need to pace the backyard territory and may help prevent many barking problems
- Unwanted litters of puppies
- Perianal (bottom) cancer
- Perineal hernia
- Desexed male dogs are described as being more homely pets
Desexing or speying (spaying) a female dog eliminates, prevents or reduces the likelihood of:
- Regular 6 to 7 month oestrus cycles, or being in season or on heat
- Oestrus is accompanied by a messy blood discharge, STRONGLY attracts unwanted male dogs and may encourage the female to wander at that fertile time!
- Unwanted litters of puppies
- Desexing BEFORE the first season/oestrus reduces the incidence of mammary cancers by a factor of approx SEVEN fold
- Usually cures/resolves cases of immature vaginitis
- Phantom pregnancy or pseudopregnancy
- Pyometra (pus filled, infected uterus)
