Desexing your dog.
YASS VALLEY VETERINARY
Why desexing is important?
Desexing isn’t just about preventing unwanted pregnancies, it can actually make your dog healthier and happier.
Desexed dogs:
- are better protected from certain illnesses and diseases
- are generally less aggressive towards other dogs
- tend to be more affectionate
- are less inclined to roam or mark their territory
- are less inclined to display mating behaviours such as mounting
Some research shows desexed dogs actually live longer. The RSPCA practises early age desexing from the age of eight weeks when the surgery is simple and recovery is rapid. If your puppy was not desexed prior to sale, they must be desexed before they are able to produce any unintended litters of puppies. There is absolutely no benefit in letting females have one litter before they are desexed.
Talk to your vet about desexing, microchipping and vaccinations. They’re all important parts of being a responsible dog owner and will ensure your new best friend stays healthy and happy.
