Dog & Cat Desexing Newcastle,
Cooks Hill Veterinary Clinic

At Cooks Hill Veterinary Clinic on Darby Street, Newcastle, our experienced vets provide safe, professional and affordable dog desexing and cat desexing for pet owners across Cooks Hill, Hamilton, Merewether, Bar Beach, The Junction, Adamstown and Broadmeadow.

The number of puppies and kittens born each year is significantly greater than the number of good homes available for them. The result is thousands of healthy and unwanted animals destroyed or left to fend for themselves.

Having your dog or cat desexed not only helps reduce the number of unwanted puppies and kittens in Newcastle, it is also a safe and practical way to prevent behavioural problems and many serious diseases and conditions.

What does desexing involve?

Castration of males and spaying of females is performed under general anaesthetic by our experienced Newcastle veterinarians. Your pet will need to be fasted overnight before surgery to prevent any complications.
Castration of a male dog or cat involves removal of the testicles. Spaying of a female involves a single incision to remove the ovaries and uterus. Once the anaesthetic has worn off and provided there are no complications, your pet should be ready to go home the same afternoon.

Benefits of Desexing Your Dog or Cat

Females

 

  • Spaying stops the bleeding that occurs during the heat cycle and behavioural changes such as wandering
    when in season.

  • Reduces the risk of mammary cancer

  • Prevents false pregnancies and infections of the uterus

Males

 

  • Helps prevent antisocial behaviours associated with sexual
    maturity e.g. aggressive behaviour, wandering for a mate,
    sexual behaviour such as mounting of animals and people.

  • Reduces risks of developing prostate and testicular diseases.
