GET A MASSIVE 20% OFF DESEXING PRICES DURING THE MONTH OF JULY
Why have a month to specifically highlight the need to desex your pet? Mainly because unwanted pets remain a problem with RSPCA reporting an average 160,000 animals being taken in by shelters annually. Many do not find safe homes or owners. Usually these strays are the result of unplanned breeding by companion pets that should have been desexed.
Desexing is a straightforward procedure that only requires a day stay at the clinic, with pets fully recovered within a few days.
Aside from preventing accidental litters, there are many health and behavioural benefits to desexing*:
- Desexed animals are generally less likely to get diseases and certain illnesses such as mammary cancer and uterine infections in females and prostate problems in males.
- Desexing commonly reduces behaviour problems such as roaming, aggression and urine marking in males.
- In females it prevents mating behaviour and false pregnancy. Reducing the desire to roam also reduces the risk of being in a traumatic accident such as being hit by a car.
