Chats Wood Vet Desexing is one of the most important decisions you can make for your pet’s long-term health and wellbeing. At Chatswood Vet, we help pet owners understand the benefits, timing, and care involved in this common but vital procedure.
Why Desexing Matters
-
Health benefits – Desexing reduces the risk of certain cancers and life-threatening infections such as pyometra in females.
-
Behavioural improvements – It can help decrease aggression, roaming, and spraying in both dogs and cats.
-
Community impact – By preventing unwanted litters, desexing reduces the number of stray and abandoned animals.
When Is the Best Age to Desex?
-
Puppies: Around 6 months of age is ideal, though this may vary depending on breed and size.
-
Kittens: Can often be desexed as early as 4 months old.
-
Older pets: Desexing is usually safe at any age, but a vet check-up is essential before surgery.
Our vets at Chatswood Vet will guide you on the right time for your pet based on their health, breed, and lifestyle.
