Why neuter your dog
For a bitch:
Operation prices depend on size. The price may be increased
if the dog is unusually difficult to handle. These prices are for
dogs up to German Shepherd size, we cannot manage dogs
expected to be over 40kg - no giant breeds.
Bitch spay, usually done 3 months after a season £110 - £170
Dog castration, over 9 months £85 - £110
Neutering can be done from 5 months if needed - prices will be
lower than for a mature animal.
maximum prices: Bitch spay £130, Dog castration £90
For a bitch:
- To prevent unwanted pregnancies - a bitch comes into season twice
a year and the season lasts three weeks. Some breeds have very
large litters, any pregnancy is some risk to the bitch. - To prevent 'false pregnancies' which some bitches get after each
season, and which make them very miserable. - To prevent pyometra - the common womb problem of the middle
aged or elderly unspayed bitch which can require emergency surgery
to save her life.
- To reduce sex-linked behaviour problems - roaming, fighting,
aggression. Castration will not make a bouncy dog less active, he
may concentrate better though, and be easier to train. - To reduce the risk of prostate disease in later life.
