East Bentleigh Desexing for Cats and Dogs

Desexing (also known as spaying or neutering) is one of the most important decisions you can make for your pet’s long-term health and wellbeing. At East Bentleigh Animal Care, we provide affordable desexing procedures in our modern surgical suite, with experienced vets and caring nurses to guide you through every step.

East Bentleigh Animal Care - Desexing Surgery
Desexing not only helps prevent unwanted litters, but it also reduces the risk of certain health issues and unwanted behaviours. For females, desexing eliminates the risk of uterine infections and significantly reduces the chance of mammary cancer. For males, it helps prevent testicular cancer and can reduce roaming, spraying, and aggression.

The procedure is different for male and female pets. In males, desexing involves the removal of the testicles in a relatively straightforward surgery with a shorter recovery time. In females, the procedure is slightly more complex and involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus, which requires a little more aftercare and monitoring during recovery. In both cases, your pet will be under general anaesthesia and carefully monitored by our team before, during, and after the procedure.

Our friendly staff can help you understand the right time to desex your pet, depending on their age, breed, and overall health. We’ll also walk you through how to prepare your pet for surgery and what to expect during recovery.

Desexing is a safe and common procedure that provides lasting benefits for your pet and the community. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation, get in touch with our team, we’re happy to help.
